Albstadt has numerous hotels, guest houses and restaurants in a variety of price ranges.

We particularly recommend Gasthof Linde in the Ebingen district, which reopened in 2018. It is located just a 10 minute walk from Groz-Beckert headquarters and the training site.

Albstadt and the surrounding region has lots to see even outside the textile industry. The Municipal Art Gallery, the Museum im Kräuterkasten and the Philipp-Matthäus-Hahn-Museum are just a few examples of worthwhile trips. The cultural history of the district where Groz-Beckert is based is outlined in the Ebinger Heimatmuseum. The Stauffenberg memorial and the “Jehle collection of the history of music” located in the castle are further cultural gems of the city. The Roman Open-Air Museum Hechingen-Stein, showing a reconstructed Roman estate in the first centuries A. D., can also be reached quickly and easily from Albstadt.

The region around Albstadt is dominated by the Swabian Alb mountains and the Danube valley. The largely untouched nature offers a pleasant calmness and impressive views with around 2,500 different caves. Many of these have been turned into interesting show caves.

The Hohenzollern palace Sigmaringen is also located close to Albstadt, whose former residents dominated European history like no other noble family. The Hohenzollern Castle is also worth a visit. It is one of the most beautiful and most visited castles in Europe.
