Sights in Aalen

With a hire car, you can comfortably drive to and visit the special buildings and sights of the city at your own pace. For instance, one of the highlights on the city tour is bound to be the old town hall, which dates back to the 16th century and is now considered a landmark of the city.

Here you should direct your attention to the so-called “Napoleon window”, which commemorates the visit of the French regent, who, according to hearsay, hit his head on the window and suffered a laceration.

However, it is also worth visiting the spy located in the town hall. The strenuous climb is rewarded by a breathtakingly beautiful view of Aalen. The memorial on the Schillerhöhe sounds daily at 6:45 p.m. and commemorates the victims that both world wars claimed.

Those who wish to visit the memorial must first obtain permission to enter from the city of Aalen. The Schillerhöhe is also home to the Aalen Observatory. Here you have an extremely rewarding view of the celestial bodies, which offers a successful break from the daily sightseeing routine.
