ヘッデスバッハの洞窟・トップ20

The Four Castles Tour in Neckarsteinach takes you to Vorderburg, Mittelburg, Hinterburg, and Schadeck Castle ("Swallow's Nest") 🏰. The route offers magnificent views of the Neckar Valley 🌊, historic walls, and is ideal as a circular walk along the Neckarsteig Trail 🥾—compact, scenic, and steeped in history.

Instead of a keep, the castle has a double-winged shield wall, the apex of which points toward the rocky massif. A battlement walk runs along the shield wall, which can be accessed via a recently constructed steel staircase. The castle complex is fully accessible and worth a visit.

The Swallow's Nest is Schadeck Castle. There are several castles in this area. Swallow's Nest - Schadeck Castle -> freely accessible The rear castle -> freely accessible The middle castle -> privately owned and not accessible The front castle -> privately owned and not accessible The Dilsberg Castle Fortress -> on the other side of the Neckar River and freely accessible.

A very scenic route with great views of and from the castles. The way is easy to go. Not all castles can be visited, the Schadeck is currently also closed due to construction work. But it's still worth it.

ok, 2 of the 4 can "only" be seen from the outside, but the inhabited castles are especially beautiful!

Beautiful castle ruins with signs explaining the essentials. For inquisitive children (and those who have stayed) naturally ideal. The bridge is accessible and the area makes a very well-kept impression. Lizards can be seen on the stones in midsummer.

Beautiful castle ruins with a great view. Often well attended on weekends because the castles are well known and the hiking trails on the castle tour are not particularly demanding. Ideal for children.

There are several castles and castle ruins on the Neckar. But here there are 4 pieces to hike within a few meters. And every historical building is a little different.
