The castle ruins and keep are accessible. However, the tower is not accessible from October to April. Panoramic view of this section of the Weil valley, where several paths met in the Middle Ages and could be controlled from the castle. The castle can be reached via a small staircase at the upper end of the castle path, directly in front of a private property. The castle path begins directly at the city gate. Opposite Altweilnau you can see Neuweilnau and its castle.

Magnificent castle ruins. We were able to visit it without any problems in the summer of 2019.
The castle was built in the 12th century and is free to enter.
There is a fantastic view from the castle and especially from the round keep.

Update April 17th, 2020: The castle complex was open today (despite the current virus issue).
And we (2) were on site alone!
