Schlossruine Arnsberg

Packed lunch and a rest on the Schlossberg - the great view and a spot in the sun make up for the short, crisp climb! 😎💪

nice view and very well maintained

Here you can see the Ruhr flowing past on both sides. Arnsberg is located in a Ruhrschleife.

Great view over the Ruhr valley.

Very nice all around view over Arnsberg. Nice little old town.

Hotel crowd. We recommend. A great family business. Many Thanks.

Above the historic town center of Arnsberg, on the 256 m high Schlossberg, lies the Arnsberg castle ruins. The former castle complex reaches a length of approx. 250m in north-south direction from the moat to the castle gate, with an east-west extension of a maximum of 70m. The partly renovated enclosing walls, a total of around 650m long, enclose a castle area of approx. 2 hectares.
The castle was first mentioned in documents in 1102. The Counts of Werl-Arnberg had moved their headquarters to Arnsberg at the turn of the 11th / 12th century and started construction.

From up there you have a fantastic view of Arnsberg and the surrounding area.

From up there you can see that the Ruhr makes a loop around Arnsberg. Once a year there is a great party. The ruin festival.

The view is terrific. It's easy to imagine how the sentries once had everything in view.
Even with the road bike you can boot up here well. But ⚠ in front of the broken pieces!

Very nice ruin and very good view over Arnsberg

The Schlossberg in Arnsberg. A very beautiful historical site from the 1100th century. When driving to the mountain should be paid attention from which side you come. The side of the castle gate is very steep. Definitely a nice destination.

Nice view from up there.

Nice old ruins in the town of Arnsberg. Unfortunately not a lot of viewing, since the ruin is shut (july 2020) because of falling stones. Hope they fix that quick :-)

Always great to see and be able to visit the old ruins of a castle like this one. Unfortunately in july 2020 the ruins have been closed off to the public due to falling stones. Hope they fix that soon.

Unfortunately closed at the moment (August 2020), a shame. Unfortunately nowhere is there for a long time.
