Hiking

A visit to Altweilnau should include the ascent to Burgberg, including climbing the tower. You will be rewarded with a very beautiful view over the village and the surrounding area.

Hiking

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.

Great castle ruin. We were able to visit without any problems in the summer of 2019. The castle, built in the 12th century, is freely accessible. From the castle and especially from the round Bergfried, you have a fantastic view. schloesser-hessen.de/de/burgruine-altweilnau
