    The name "Nippenburg" has always been associated with Schwieberdingen. The Nippenburg was probably built in the 9th century. The first mention in the Codex Hirsaugensis reads: "When in 1160 Berwart built a mill below the Nippenburg for the monastery." This refers to today's Hagmühle in the Hemmingen area.
    Located on a mountain spur, three sides of the castle were protected by a precipice and swamp, the fourth side with a mighty shield wall and moat in front of it was difficult to capture. There is no record of the Nippenburg being destroyed or burned down. For many centuries it provided its residents with safety and refuge until it was finally left to decay in the 17th and 18th centuries.
    The restoration of the Nippenburg began in 1979. The securing work on the ruin, which was in danger of collapsing and overgrown with ivy, was carried out with painstaking manual labor. Later, the work was continued with a tractor that served as a tractor, construction crane and wheelbarrow all in one.
    In September 1984, the work was largely completed. The Nippenburg is now once again one of the sights in the Ludwigsburg district and a popular local recreation destination in the region.

      A really great tour👍 thumbs up. However, a very good step required, some stretches to the left below the ruins are partly very overgrown and steep (slippery) Caution!
      at the end of the trail you come to a golf course. The last few kilometers across the field are also very nice. 😍A nice route all in all

        Surprising castle ruins over the Glemstal. Also good to reach along the golf course. Whether there is a rest stop there I could not find out.
