ビーティッヒハイムビッシンゲンの洞窟・トップ20

Very beautiful spot on the Glems just before the climb to the Nippenburg castle ruins. If you're a bit adventurous, you can also take a rustic path over the weir and along the Glems.

The name "Nippenburg" has always been associated with Schwieberdingen. The Nippenburg was probably built in the 9th century. The first mention in the Codex Hirsaugensis reads: "When in 1160 Berwart built a mill below the Nippenburg for the monastery." This refers to today's Hagmühle in the Hemmingen area. Located on a mountain spur, three sides of the castle were protected by a precipice and swamp, the fourth side with a mighty shield wall and moat in front of it was difficult to capture. There is no record of the Nippenburg being destroyed or burned down. For many centuries it provided its residents with safety and refuge until it was finally left to decay in the 17th and 18th centuries. The restoration of the Nippenburg began in 1979. The securing work on the ruin, which was in danger of collapsing and overgrown with ivy, was carried out with painstaking manual labor. Later, the work was continued with a tractor that served as a tractor, construction crane and wheelbarrow all in one. In September 1984, the work was largely completed. The Nippenburg is now once again one of the sights in the Ludwigsburg district and a popular local recreation destination in the region.

Ideal for taking a rest in the summer under the large shady lime tree.

A short walk around and you have seen the castle ruins.

There are benches on the Murg directly on the cycle path, with a beautiful view of the castle.

The ridge itself is very slippery, with some water flowing over it after rain. A little further back there are stones that are better for crossing (the way to the water is quite muddy, stones wobble a bit)

The castle was taken over by the Christian Youth Village Association of Germany (CJD) in 1949 to serve as a youth, educational and social workshop for young people. At the end of 2013, the CJD terminated the lease on the rooms it rented in the castle. In 2020, a concession agreement was signed between the state of Baden-Württemberg and the private Schloss-Collection GmbH & Co KG, which provides for use as a hotel and restaurant. Not much has happened to date, as there are apparently major problems with parking spaces and fire department access. You can explore the castle (except the inner courtyard) by bike.

Very nice footpath to the castle. The castle ruins themselves are a worthwhile destination due to their location and complex as well as many open spaces.
