Large and well-preserved castle ruins. Costs a little admission. The proceeds are used by the association, which works to preserve the ruins, for conservation measures.

Rötteln is a place where the world of a medieval fortress has been unusually well preserved, from the imposing walls to the touching details of everyday life. Rötteln is therefore particularly worth taking a second and third look at the hidden treasures.
