Hohenburg Castle Ruins

Here you have a wonderful view

The ruin lies on a mountain above the Hohenburg market on the site of the US military training area Hohenfels. Therefore, it officially belongs to the municipality of Hohenfels in the Neumarkt district, not to the Hohenburg market in the Amberg / Sulzbach district. The castle ruins can be reached via a path that starts in the Hohenburg market directly behind the fire station. The Hohenburg is one of the oldest castle foundations (probably around 1050, Count Ernst and his wife Pilifrid) on the Nordgau, today's Upper Palatinate. It protected an important medieval trade route. It was not until 1115 that a count Ernst was named in a document, this time expressly "von Hohenburg". From here you have a very nice view. burgseite.de/html/hohenburg.html

The ruins are located on the training grounds. Therefore, they are officially accessible only with the permission of the commander. Contact: US Military Training Area Hohenfels, Public Affairs Office, Tel. +49 9472 832457.
