Rusenschloss Ruins

The Hohengerhausen ruin, also known as Rusenschloss, is enthroned in the forest high above Blaubeuren and is likely to date back to the eleventh century. It gives you a wonderful view of the Ach and Blautal. Unfortunately, her old age increases, which is why the castle is currently largely closed and under renovation. The view and the grotto just a few meters below are definitely worth the climb.

The Rusenschloss ruins have been officially reopened since the beginning of October 2020 and have been excellently renovated 🤩
And impresses with a beautiful view of Blaubeuren and the Blautal 👍

The upper area of the ruin (residential tower with a good view) is currently closed (July 9, 2016) due to the risk of rock falls. At the ruin there is no information about renovation measures or any duration of the closure.

Edit (12/2016):
Coincidentally found a current newspaper article about it. The renovation will start in 2017 and will continue until 2019. For reasons of nature conservation, work is only carried out from August to December. The whole thing will cost 3.2 million.
