Really surprising: this beautiful little castle 🏰 with a great view of the Schussen valley

The parish church of St. Catherine, also known as the castle church, which stands in front of Wolfegg Castle, is undoubtedly one of the most magnificent baroque churches in Upper Swabia. The former collegiate church was built between 1733 and 1742 by Johann Georg Fischer, and the neo-baroque bell tower, designed by the Stuttgart architect Joseph Cades, was added in 1906. (from Wikipedia) The Catholic church is open during the day.

It is worth attending an event in the castle. This gives you the opportunity to see part of the castle. http://www.wolfegger-konzerte.de/veranstaltungsorte.html

The Waldburg is also worth a visit. However, the climb is relatively steep.

The main building of the castle consists of four wings, which are arranged in the shape of a rectangle together with four corner towers. The castle is not normally open to the public, but guided tours are offered as part of the annual concerts held in the castle. The baroque-style knights' hall, which is decorated with 24 wooden sculptures and a large ceiling mirror, is particularly worth seeing and is used annually by the Ludwigsburg Castle Festival, among others. The castle also houses the art collection of the House of Waldburg-Wolfegg, also known as the "Wolfegg Cabinet". The Wolfegg Auto Museum is located in an adjoining building of the castle.

The external form of the current complex goes back to the steward Jakob II von Waldburg (1546–1589) and his wife Johanna (1548–1613), who had a new castle built towards the end of the 16th century to replace a previous building that had been destroyed by a chimney fire in 1578.

Unfortunately the farm shop is no longer open

Hello, the hike was very nice. But Waldburg is not geared up for hikers and cyclists. It's a shame about the many efforts of the clubs that maintain the routes. The Waldburger ham factory outlet and the butcher's shop in Waldburg are really good. But it's not a place for a break or a quick stop. There is only one car park in Waldburg for the start and finish and there is no reward at all.
