Hohenstaufen is a mountain in the
House of Hohenstaufen.[1]
There are many footpaths on the mountain that are easily accessible from three entrances. The summit is surrounded by beech trees which tower above the footpaths. At the peak of the mountain is a bar which serves German beer and other snacks, however, the bar is being reconstructed into a glass-like conservatory.
The name is derived from the shape of the mountain, which forms the shape of a chalice ("Stauf").
