ドルンハンの洞窟・トップ20

First mentioned in 752, this was the ancestral seat of the Lords of Wehrstein, who presumably died out in 1409 with Benz von Wehrstein. Legend has it that Charlemagne met his wife Hildegard, a Swabian, at Wehrstein Castle. In 1643, during the Thirty Years' War, Wehrstein Castle was largely destroyed by Bavarian troops. The Austrian suzerainty, which lasted from 1381 to 1806, expired and Wehrstein became the property of the House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. 1850 Hohenzollern and the Wehrstein lordship became Prussian. In 1973, Fischingen was assigned from the Hechingen district to the Rottweil district. 2003 The Friends of Wehrstein Castle Ruins Association was founded with the aim of saving the castle complex from complete decay.

From the castle ruins there is a beautiful view over Sulz.

A beautiful and well thought out folding bench prevents you from getting a wet bottom. This is located below the Ahlbeck castle ruins.

Easy to reach after a short climb. Be careful, the stair stones are very slippery when wet. It's good that a retaining steel cable is attached. The many display boards are very informative and well illustrated.

It's nice that such ruins are still so well maintained.

Our monastery is already impressive. You should have seen the museum.

A very beautiful abbey

On the way up there are 6 display boards with information about the castle from construction to destruction. Very informative.
