The ruin of the tower castle stands on an approximately ten meter high red sandstone cliff - so the lords of the castle once had a perfect overview of the valley. The start of construction is estimated at the end of the 11th century. Interestingly enough, Baiersbronn was not dated until 200 years later. However, since castles were mostly built near settlements, it may well be that Baiersbronn is older than actually assumed.

Unfortunately the entrance to the ruins is closed,☹️what a shame! And you can only see them from the path above the ruins! Makes the whole thing a bit uninteresting!

The stairs themselves are very stable. Only the top board is dilapidated. Putting in a new board would have been easier than the barrier, which was nailed down with three new boards. However, the view and what you see from up there is not very interesting. Just go straight up the hiking trail, you will see just as much.
