Haigerloch, Medieval town in Zollernalbkreis, Germany

The municipality sits on a Muschelkalk rock formation along the Eyach River, with districts spreading across varying elevations from 388 to 550 meters.

The first documented mention of Haigerloch dates to 1095, with the construction of its current castle complex initiated by Christoph von Hohenzollern-Haigerloch in 1567.

The town maintains its traditional Swabian identity through local festivals, regional cuisine, and architectural heritage preserved in both upper and lower sections.

Visitors can access Haigerloch through regional roads connecting to major cities, with accommodation options available in multiple districts of the municipality.

The Atomkeller-Museum, housed in a former beer cellar beneath the castle church, displays a replica of the nuclear research reactor from World War II.
