Tips

  • Arek

    The high medieval castle Munzenberg is one of the most outstanding castle fortifications in Germany. It was expanded in the second half of the 12th century and in the 13th century. Although the castle was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War, its ruins are still extremely authentically preserved. With its two characteristic towers, it forms an important landmark in the Wetterau. The city of Munzenberg, which forms a unitary content with the castle, has also been preserved in an unusually authentic way.

  • The 145 steps up the tower are worth it! There are castle tours several times a day, also exciting and informative. Admission prices, opening times and, if applicable, events are to be found in advance on the website of the city of Münzenberg or the Circle of Friends.

  • The castle itself is well worth seeing, the hike is more of a long walk mostly on paved paths. The view is very nice.

  • The castle ruins are a landmark in the Wetterau that can be seen from afar. Münzenberg is also the namesake of the line of the same name of the Counts of Hanau.

  • Entrance fee 2022: 3.50 EUR/adult. The money is well invested for the ruins, which are well worth seeing, the informative flyer is available free of charge at the cash desk. Climbing the tower with its all-round view of Feldberg and Vogelsberg is also worthwhile.

  • The €3.50 entry fee is well worth it! The ascent to the east tower over 141 steps alone offers an incredibly beautiful view over the entire Wetterau.
