The castle dates back to the Middle Ages and was expanded into its current form in the 15th century. It is picturesquely situated on the banks of the Jagst River and impresses with its solid stonework and historic flair. Today, it is privately owned but houses, among other things, a hotel and serves as a venue for the Jagsthausen Castle Festival, where Goethe's "Götz von Berlichingen" is performed annually on the open-air stage.

The German Bird of Prey Observatory at Guttenberg Castle Fascinating world: Around 60 large birds of prey and owls live here. Experience huge birds with a wingspan of over two meters, such as eagles and vultures, but also eagle owls in free flight high above Guttenberg Castle - whatever the weather! The castle's Staufian kennels offer a natural insight into the fascinating world of birds of prey. Interactive touchscreen stations and two display case exhibitions show selected birds of prey in typical habitats and various medium and small-sized birds of prey in Europe. Life-size silhouettes on the castle tower impressively demonstrate the enormous wingspans of birds of prey. (Source: https://burg-guttenberg.de/greifenwarte)

The ascent to the castle was worth it, even if it was still dormant when we visited.

Beautifully situated castle, from which one has a view of the Neckar and the castles opposite. Birds of prey shows are held here regularly

Unfortunately the station was closed due to Corona, but we'll be back.

The Schlosshotel Götzenburg has been newly renovated and is currently being run as a Hotel Garni. There is a wonderful restaurant with a beer garden directly opposite the Götzenburg in the "Red Castle" for a "delicious and relaxed" cyclist break. The kitchen works with regional products and there are game dishes "from our own hunt".
