ゲンゲンバッハの洞窟・トップ20

In the 11th/12th century, the Zähringers built a castle on this site to protect the Kinzig Valley. In the 15th century, the castle was expanded to include defense towers. At the end of the 17th century, the castle was destroyed twice. In the 18th century, the current castle was built in the English style on the ruins of the old castle. Today, there is a youth hostel and a wine-producing farm here.

A court linden tree was a single, very old tree near the town. This was where the Thing, a council meeting, was held, where justice was also dispensed.

This historic building is in an exposed location between Kinzig and the hills of the Black Forest and offers beautiful views - it is also an eye-catcher itself.

Breathtaking view over the Rhine Valley.

A ruin that is easy to reach and the way there is fun. Paths over hill and dale or well-developed hiking trails offer something for everyone. The remains of the castle are well maintained.

Beautifully landscaped castle embedded in the middle of the vineyards on the edge of the Black Forest. Definitely our bike highlight today.

Part of the castle is open to the public during the day until 6 p.m., with the exception of the youth hostel building. The tower complex appears to be very well maintained. There is a wonderful view of the Kinzig valley, the Rhine plain and Offenburg.

The knowledge gained during the excavations in 1926-1929 about the completely removed outer and middle castle lead to the floor plans exhibited on site. Of these parts, only the worked rock can be seen. In the former middle castle there is a rain-protected rest area. There are still a few walls from the main castle, which have also been supplemented and secured. I have no idea why a millstone was walled in with it. In any case, the ruin is nice and quiet and is worth a visit.
