This camera looks out from the ruins of Hohentwiel, a volcanic hill rising above the town of Singen in the Hegau area of Baden-Württemberg. It is a good way to check the view and conditions from this elevated landmark before planning a walk up to the castle site.
A volcanic hill above the plain
Hohentwiel is a steep cone of volcanic rock standing alone above the flat Hegau landscape in southern Germany, a short distance from the Swiss border and the Lake Constance region. The fortress ruins on its summit were once one of the strongest strongholds in the Duchy of Württemberg and became a well known landmark of the area. Today the ruins, the surrounding woodland and the wide views draw walkers, historians and photographers throughout the year.
What the view offers
Because the camera is set at a high point, the picture is most useful for judging the wider landscape, cloud cover and visibility over the surrounding hills and towns. Clear mornings and late afternoons in good weather tend to give the most distant views, while autumn mist often sits in the valleys below. Check the live stream before you go, as the summit can be windy and fog can settle quickly.
Climate and getting around
The region has a temperate climate with mild summers and cool, sometimes wet winters, so spring, early summer and early autumn are generally the most comfortable times to visit. Singen is the nearest large town and offers rail connections, and the summit is reached on foot. Nearby cameras in Engen, Stein am Rhein and at the Rhine Falls can help you compare conditions across the region.
