The tip of Jonas Wind is almost nothing to add. At the very least the tip to avoid vacation weekends, if you do not drive with hundreds of trippers up to the parking lot of the restaurant Barbarossa just below the castle by car and then bring only the short climb to the castle behind.

The emperors of the Hohenstaufen dynasty once sat enthroned on this huge rock ship and controlled the fortunes of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. In addition to storing the imperial regalia, copies of which are on display today, the castle also served as a prison for opponents of the emperors. The most famous of these, Richard the Lionheart, is said to have been held captive in the castle for over a year and only regained his freedom after paying a massive ransom of twelve tons of silver. The castle is also a highlight for climbers, who enjoy scrambling up the 80 meters of the front rocky prow in the evening sun.
