フィリンゲンドルフの洞窟・トップ16

It's actually easy to find. However, the information board definitely needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, nothing can be deciphered anymore. Everything is completely faded.

Apart from two stone walls, not much remains of the ruins

The Hohenstein Castle ruins are relatively easy to see through the trees, especially in winter, if you know where they once stood. A narrow path leads up the hill. An entrance wall of the ruins, directly adjacent to one of the three moats, as well as a section of the northwest corner, are still visible. In this corner section, bulged ashlar stones are clearly visible. These stones were used primarily during the Hohenstein period. The castle was built before 1100 by the noble Lords of Urslingen and attacked and destroyed by the Imperial City of Rottweil as early as 1312. This was because the Lords of Zimmern, who had owned the castle since the 12th century, sided with the Württembergers in the Imperial War. After several changes of ownership, the ruins, along with the nearby farm and palace, are now owned by the Counts of Bissingen-Nippenburg.

It's a pity that the table on the history of the Neckarburg is very difficult to read.

There is no sign indicating that the path goes up to the ruins! Not everyone knows the way, or the turnoff can easily be overlooked when chatting.

Model of the castle + historical information board + creative "hidden" hiking stamp :)

Nothing is left of the castle. Without the board, you would overlook that.

Well, I didn't see much except the board, but it's still nice here
