Dilsberg Fortress

The Dilsberg Castle Fortress is known for its fantastic panoramic view of the Neckar Valley and the Odenwald. Another highlight of the castle festivals is a bit lower - in the accessible underground well tunnel.
Should be reopened from March 26th, 2021

The Burgbühne Dilsberg e.V. performs the play "The Rose von Dilsberg" every five years at the Dilsberg Festival.

The Dilsberg mountain festival is a high medieval mountain festival east of Heidelberg in the Rhein-Neckar district in Baden-Württemberg, from which the Dilsberg district of the city of Neckargemünd has developed.
During the Thirty Years War it was one of the most contested fortifications. In 1622 the fortress was occupied by the general Tilly after a long siege. In 1633 the Swedes recaptured the fortress. Despite the siege and fighting, the fortress itself was neither conquered nor destroyed militarily.
