モーアスバッハの洞窟・トップ20

Fantastically beautiful castle. The mega highlight of this tour stage for me.

I had asked friendly and was allowed to look at the castle courtyard. And since I have a DJH ID, I was also given the opportunity to buy a drink.

large castle ruins that can either be climbed from Windeck or conquered from Schladern on a walk

The complex, which was still preserved and inhabited around 1830, was used as a quarry in the late 19th century, which is why it is largely in ruins today. The hilltop castle stands on a mountain spur that slopes steeply on three sides; it thus dominated the past Bergische Eisenstrasse, later named Hileweg in 1048. In addition to the walls, the more than 20-meter-high, round donjon, which has a Baroque dome and is partially slated, and building remains from the 14th to 18th centuries and a polygonal bastion from the 15th / 16th centuries have been preserved. Century, which was expanded in 1757 and 1932/33. Only the outer bailey can be visited at any time. The buildings in which the von Hatzfeldtsche Försterei are housed are privately owned.

Nice castle. When I drove by there was a smell of ironwork and a controlled fire was burning in the garden.

The Freusburg, which is now a youth hostel, is still very well preserved. Events take place in the inner courtyard of the castle. The café in front of the gate is very cozy and you can drink delicious coffee ☕ and eat cake 🎂 there. The historic town center with the small half-timbered houses rounds off the overall picture. When you look down on the impressive castle from the valley, high up on the mountain, you hardly think that you can visit something so great in your home country - always worth a visit.

There is a castle café here where you can get homemade cakes, waffles and cakes to take away on Sundays. Very, very tasty

It can be doubted that the RTL production “Demon Wedding” was a high point in the 800-year history of the castle. The symbol of the municipality of Windeck in the Siegtal has seen completely different things since it was first mentioned in 1174 as “Castrum novum in windeke”. The castle was destroyed several times in later centuries and threatened to deteriorate completely before the Siegkreis had the Palas wall rebuilt and the keep secured in the 1960s. Archaeological investigations uncovered a floor plan that gives an idea of the imposing dimensions of the castle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6gaSR98lRg
