アルテンシュタイクの洞窟・トップ20

フォイトブルクは、何度か避難場所として利用された小さな岩場の城です。12世紀に遡り、元々は岩の上に建てられた小さな塔の城で構成されていました。岩から切り出された巨大な堀によって山から隔てられています。堀の建設中に得られた石は、今日でも唯一現存する建物である塔の建設に使用されました。フォイトブルクは今日、深い森の中に隠れており、廃墟としても、その構造と避難場所としての機能の雰囲気の両方において、その名に恥じないものです。

Beautiful and very large medieval castle ruins – clearly visible from afar as a landmark above the town of Nagold. Accessible via various hiking trails through the forest surrounding the Schlossberg. Great views of the Heckengäu, the Black Forest, and, in good weather, even the Swabian Alb. Served on weekends in the summer. Regular events are also held.

A little hard to find, and unfortunately a little neglected. Very manageable. But still OK as part of the attraction on the Four Castles Trail.

A nice snack

From the valley, the ruins can be reached via a narrow path (somewhat hidden) in 200 meters. It goes up a grassy path. The tower stump walls are overgrown with grass, moss...

Hidden ruin in the green. A small bench in the middle.

A piece of history. In the middle there is a bench where you can sit and immerse yourself in contemporary history.

The castle was probably built between 1220 and 1250 by the Kecheler von Rüdenberg family. From 1406 it belonged to Rupert III of the Palatinate, and in 1440 it came into the possession of the Württemberg family. The castle was probably a tower castle, surrounded by a small moat, a rampart on which a wall stood, a ring wall and a moat towards the ridge. The castle site still shows walls of the former keep with remnants of the defensive walls to the north and south. Signs of fire on the still visible beam supports of the tower indicate the destruction of the castle. Source: Wikipedia
