Upper Castle, Schellenberg / Castle Ruins in Schellenberg
There are two castle ruins in Schellenberg, the so-called Upper Castle being a very popular tourist destination and accessible after a short walk.
The upper and larger complex in the Hinterschloss district of Schellenberg was built from 1200 onwards and already possessed all the important elements of a medieval castle. The Upper Castle was first mentioned in a document dated January 10, 1348.
The Lower Castle was built around 1250 as a smaller complex and only reached its final form and size after 1350. The first documented mention of this castle dates back to 1317.
Presumably, both castles had been uninhabited since the 16th century and gradually fell into disrepair. Prince Franz Josef II donated the heavily overgrown ruins to the Historical Society in 1956, which subsequently had them researched and preserved.

Well preserved and worth a visit, from here the rock band path is also recommended.
