The Hohentwiel, an imposing volcanic cone in the Hegau. The ruins of the Hohentwiel fortress, which stands on the summit, are one of the largest and oldest fortifications in Germany. Originally built in the 10th century and later expanded into a state fortress, the complex today offers impressive insights into medieval and early modern history.

Very nice way to get to the castle. A hike around the Hohentwiel is worthwhile, there are great views.
