    I don't know how many ruined castles endure a wandering life. But something remains of the Iburg, because on a tour you learn so much about the history with the help of descriptive materials that it is easy to get an idea of it. With castle walls and castle gate, keep and palace, castle chapel and castle fountain. Side effect: There are a number of shady spots that are wonderful for a little break.

      The ruin is located in the central part of the Egge Mountains within the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge Nature Park on the Iburg mountain (Iberg; 381.2 m above sea level [1]), which protrudes as a wooded and narrow mountain spur into the adjoining valley of Bad Driburg to the east. The city center is about 1.1 km (as the crow flies) northeast of the castle and about 1.4 km west-southwest is the Hausheide (441.4 m), one of the highest elevations in the Egge Mountains.

      To the north-east of the Iburg, near a 365.2 m high point, is the Kaiser-Karls-Turm, inaugurated in 1904, from which a wide view of Bad Driburg and the surrounding area is possible to the east. Immediately next to it is the Sachsenklause restaurant, which opened in 1925.
