Heiligenberg, municipality in Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Heiligenberg is a municipality situated on a high plateau in Bodenseekreis with views of the lake and surrounding countryside. The place features quiet streets, traditional stone and timber buildings, and green fields crossed by walking trails.
The settlement became part of Baden in 1803 and underwent various administrative changes until becoming part of present-day Bodenseekreis. Schloss Heiligenberg was built in the 1500s, transforming a medieval fortress into a Renaissance palace featuring significant artworks.
The name reflects the place's elevated position and spiritual heritage. Visitors can explore local artworks at 'AllerArt Kunst und Werk' and attend jazz performances or theater events throughout the year.
The municipality is accessible by public bus, with a motorhome parking area near the town hall and walking trails suitable for all abilities. In winter, visitors can enjoy over 20 kilometers of cross-country ski tracks and a ski lift.
The castle can be admired from the outside but is currently closed to visitors as the Fürstenberg family uses it as their residence. The Sennhof near the castle blends historic stonework with contemporary design and hosts various events.
