Culture and History
The Catholic parish church of St. Martin displays several construction phases: its tower contains structural elements from the 12th and 15th centuries, the rectangular choir dates from the period after 1322, and the nave was built around 1450. The Powder Tower, a preserved small round tower, stands on the western side of Trochtelfingen.
The High Tower is one of Trochtelfingen's buildings that define the townscape and can be seen behind the town wall. The Museum at the High Tower houses a permanent exhibition with original documents, objects, paintings, and photographs. The castle of the Counts of Werdenberg was probably built between 1488 and 1497.
Trails and Landscape
The Augstberg circular hiking trail is an easy hike covering 4.1 km and taking about 1.5 hours. Trochtelfingen is located on the Albtrauf mountain bike trail. The Städtles loop leads outside the historic town center past meadows and fields and through the forest.
Several longer loops connect different landscape features: the Lauchertsee-Hausen loop is just over 8 km long and, in good weather, offers unobstructed views as far as the Swiss Alps. The Kuppenalb loop is just under 16 km long and combines Trochtelfingen's idyllic half-timbered architecture, views from the Augstberg, and nature at Neuban. The Lauchertsee-Neuban loop is just under 8 km long and leads across the plateau of Mägerkingen's local mountain, which is lined with juniper heaths protected under nature conservation law.
There is a barbecue area and a playground at Lauchertsee. Swimming is not permitted in Lauchertsee.
