The old Ansbach Hohenzollern fortress Wülzburg is located above Weissenburg, on the highest mountain peak in the southern Frankenalb with 630 meters. An impressive and unique monument of Renaissance fortress construction in Germany!

The Wülzburg is a historical fortress that was built between 1588 and around 1610. It is located above the large district town of Weißenburg in Bavaria (Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district) on the Wülzburger Berg, an elevation of the part of the Southern Franconian Alb called the Weißenburger Alb.

The fortress was originally a Benedictine monastery, which was converted into a fortress by the Margraves of Ansbach in 1588. Today it forms the Wülzburg district of Weißenburg with the residential buildings to the south of it. In addition to the Jülich Citadel (1549 ff.), The Dömitz Fortress (1559 to 1565) and the Spandau Citadel (1560 ff.), The Wülzburg is one of the four closely related Renaissance fortresses that have been preserved in German-speaking countries. In a one-time sequence, they illustrate the typical Renaissance fortifications.

Unfortunately there is no bike path to get to the Wülzburg by bike. It is therefore advisable to drive to the Wülzburg via Kehl, since the volume of traffic (truck + car) is rather low there.
Attention, the climb is tough!
