Three Kaiser Mountains
The three Kaiserberge Hohenstaufen ( 684 m above sea level ), Rechberg ( 708 m above sea level ) and Stuifen ( 757 m above sea level ) are witness mountains of the Swabian Alb and form a striking group of three between Göppingen and Schwäbisch Gmünd , which can be seen from afar shapes. Together with the Aasrücke and Rehgebirge mountains , the Drei Kaiserberge have been a protected landscape area since October 4, 1971 .
The name Kaiserberge comes from the fact that the Hohenstaufen was the ancestral castle of the royal and imperial family of the Staufer . The remains of the castle can still be seen, as well as the better-preserved ruins of a Staufer Dienstmannenburg on the neighboring Rechberg.
The city of Göppingen and the community of Waldstetten have stylized the three Kaiserberge in their city / community logo.
