シャーヴァイラー周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

The Upper Gate was built in the 14th century and renovated in the 16th century.

During the week and outside of the holidays, the crowds are bearable

One of the most beautiful rooms in the castle. Weapons and armor can be admired here.

Actually, everything that needs to be said about the castle has already been said. I would like to mention the entrance fees as a positive point. Adults €12, with a guided tour €14 All parking is free, whether in the forest parking lot or on the access road. When I think of Hohenzollern Castle in Hechingen, though...🙆

Wonderful monument to greet and welcome you into this charming village!

Absolutely stunning and charming historical village! The buildings are not only beautiful, but also so well preserved. There's also so many wonderful restaurants, bakeries, and cafes to enjoy - it's an absolutely fantastic place to stop for a break.

At the end of the ridge, at an altitude of 443 meters, lies Ortenbourg Castle, built between 1260 and 1265 by Rudolf Habsburg and one of the most beautiful ruins in the Rhine Valley. A masterpiece of military architecture, with its high gorge surrounding a 32-meter-long dungeon, it is visible from afar and blends perfectly into the landscape. This dungeon offered six levels of defensive fire, and its pentagonal design allowed for better deflection of attackers' projectiles. The recently founded association "Les sentinelles de l'Ortenbourg" (Ortenbourg Sentinels) aims to preserve, expand, and revitalize the castle.

The tour from Dambach la ville is not too long or too difficult, and can be walked or run. However, I recommend appropriate footwear (hiking shoes, trail running shoes), as there are a few places on the descent, for which you can choose from two options, that require surefootedness. From the castle ruins you have a wonderful view over the Rhine plain to the Black Forest.
