After that the way takes you from down below up high to the remains of Reussenstein Castle, also known as the “Swabian Alb’s Jewel”. It then ascends leading towards Bossler mountain. On this part of the way you can admire the “century stone” (Jahrhundertstein), a piece of art focused on the 20th century. It is composed of three big stone tablets which in total have one hundred keywords carved in them. They represent last century’s technology, culture, science, politics and daily life. Once you have reached the top of Bossler mountain you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Albtrauf at about 800 m.
