ヴァイゼンバッハの洞窟・トップ13

The castle actually has a website: https://www.burg-yburg.de Perhaps there is more information here about when a reopening can be expected - the last information was "summer 2023" - which is now almost over. (There is still a castle at the outermost gate)

<< Eberstein Castle >> "Since the mid-13th century, Eberstein Castle has overlooked the valley below. After the Eberstein family died out in 1660, the property passed to the Margraviate of Baden, and today it is privately owned. The architect Friedrich Weinbrenner carried out a major renovation of the castle in the 19th century, giving it its present appearance after 1829. From up here, there is a magnificent view of the central Murg Valley. This more than compensates for the sometimes strenuous climb to this prominently situated cultural monument. And hungry hikers can expect Baden hospitality in the castle tavern. Of course, it tastes especially delicious on the plane tree terrace. The legends surrounding Eberstein Castle and the Eberstein noble family that originated there are rich. There are heroes like the daring Wolf von Eberstein, the monastery founder Bertold, and the lovestruck Wolfheiner. The legend of how the Ebersteins acquired their coat of arms has also been passed down." They came. After delivering an important message from the Emperor to Rome, the Count of Eberstein received a rose of gleaming gold from the Pope. When the Count returned to his castle, the rose came to life and flourished magnificently. Thus, the rose found its way into his coat of arms. https://www.gernsbach.de/sagenweg/schloss.html

Very beautiful castle ruins. If you want to walk and see everything, you definitely need time. It's definitely worth it. Great views over the Rhine plain in the direction of the Palatinate Forest and on the other side of the Black Forest. Refreshments in front of the castle.

The Old Hohenbaden Castle was the first residence of the powerful Margraves of Baden-Baden. It is one of the three castles on the Black Forest heights around Baden-Baden, with which the margraviate protected itself. The ruins still impress with their enormous size.

Unfortunately, the Yburg is still closed directly at the castle gate

Great ruin in which you can reconstruct the rooms, the floors and the chimneys in your mind's eye. Great views of the beginning of the Batterfelsen

As always super nice to drive. Also suitable for beginners.

Great view and good gastronomy
