      Hohentwiel Fortress is a former hilltop castle and fortress on the volcanic dome of the Hohentwiel im Hegau, near Lake Constance. The rocks tower 260 meters above the town of Singen at the eastern foot of the mountain.

                To get into the castle you have to buy a ticket downstairs

                    Spread across nine hectares, the largest fortress ruins in Germany offer one of the country’s most impressive vistas: from Hohentwiel, you can see across Lake Constance, over the gentle rolling hills of the Thurgau region to the majestic peaks of the Alps.
