Schauenburg

The castle Schauenburg, also called New-Schauenburg, is the ruin of a spur castle east of the community Dossenheim in the Rhine-Neckar district in Baden-Württemberg. The remains of the former mountain castle are located at about 275 meters above sea level on the southern foothills of the Mount of Olives.

Interesting castle ruins located halfway below the Mount of Olives. Great view of the Rhine valley.

Definitely take time off to take in everything.

Great view. Worth to take a break.

The castle is first witnessed in 1130 by the named after him noble free Gerhard von Schauenburg

Extensive, easy to walk ruin with great views of the mountain road.

Children in particular love to run around here and discover the different areas of the "castle".
A great ruin, which has been partially rebuilt over the years.

Was first mentioned in 1130 and is undoubtedly a historical record

The sunset is fantastic. Great view of the Rhine plain. All Seasons.

Nice ruin, but today quite a lot of visitors again.

Wonderful view of the quarry and the Rhine plain. There is also enough space for a picnic.

If the good all around look here is mainly worthwhile when the weather is nice. Then you can see very far

From up here you have a great view of the Rhine plain

Beautiful castle ruins with a view of the plain and the quarry opposite

Although it actually hides a little, this castle ruin doesn't really need to. In contrast to its much better known neighbor, the Schriesheimer Strahlenburg two kilometers further north, the Schauenburg cannot be seen clearly from the Rhine plain. Nevertheless, it still offers imposing, massive walls and, above all, a beautiful view of the Rhine plain.

Magnificent views and a nice place for a rest

Beautiful castle ruins with signs explaining the essentials. For inquisitive children (and those who have stayed) naturally ideal. The bridge is accessible and the area makes a very well-kept impression. Lizards can be seen on the stones in midsummer.
