Beautiful mountain with great views

As early as Roman times, an important long-distance trade route from Strasbourg to Constance ran through the area of the town, a route that continued to be used under Frankish rule. Around 1084, Henry IV granted the Lordship of Hornberg as a fief to Adalbert von Ellerbach, who henceforth called himself von Hornberg. Around 1200, the heirs divided the territory, and the southern part became the Lordship of Triberg. The castle, below which the later town of Hornberg developed, was built at this time. The town was sold into the hands of the Württembergers, for whom this area represented an important base on the way to their Alsatian possessions and the County of Montbéliard. The sale began in 1423 and was completed about two decades later. In the mid-15th century, the town became the seat of a high bailiwick. In the border treaty between the Kingdom of Württemberg and the Grand Duchy of Baden,[3] concluded in Paris on October 2, 1810, several districts of the Hornberg administrative district, including Hornberg itself, the town of Schiltach, and the municipalities of Gutach and Kirnbach, were ceded to the Grand Duchy of Baden. Hornberg remained the seat of a district office even after this treaty. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornberg

The term Hornberg Castle (also known as Neu-Hornberg Castle) describes the castle and palace buildings that arose on the Schlossberg hill in the town of Hornberg from around 1200 onwards. Today, only the keep, the powder tower, and remnants of the walls remain. The castle is located in the Ortenau district of Baden-Württemberg. The ruins lie approximately 100 meters above the old town of Hornberg at an elevation of 455 meters on a flat promontory between the Gutach and Offenbach valleys. The site extends approximately 150 meters from southeast to northwest. The castle was protected on three sides by steep rock faces, offering excellent views and thus control over the valleys of the Gutach, Reichenbach/Schwanenbach, and Offenbach rivers.

Beautiful castle ruins above Hausach

From the castle ruins you have a great view of the old town of Hausach with its half-timbered houses.

the Schlößle von Wolfach, the old castle ruins of the "Lords of Wolva" was illuminated at night until the energy crisis and therefore had its attraction to climb there too

Nice path for the whole family. Everything can try the adventures ;)
