View of Colmberg Castle

The castle from the 13th century now houses a very good hotel and is exposed above Colmberg: there is a golf course at its feet.

There is said to have been a settlement here as early as the time of the Celts. At the beginning of the 8th century. The area was taken over by the Frankish kings as a hunting area. Towards the end of the 8th century. A palisade castle was then built, which was taken over by the Hohenstaufens in the 12th century. was expanded into an imperial castle. The castle later came into the possession of the Hohenzollerns, who lived there for several centuries.

What a view! The imposing castle in the background makes you curious. From here it is only a five-minute bike ride to the ancient walls from the 13th century. Today there is a hotel with a restaurant behind the walls.
