ネッカー-オーデンヴァルト-クライスの洞窟・トップ20

The Minneburg is an impressive castle ruin in the Neckar Valley, near Neckargerach. It sits atop a wooded hillside and offers a fantastic view over the Neckar Valley. The castle was probably built in the 12th century and reached its heyday in the 16th century, when it was remodeled in the Renaissance style. The legend surrounding the Minneburg is particularly fascinating: The name is said to originate from Minna von Horneck, who sought refuge here out of love for a knight.

Unfortunately, the chapel beneath Guttenberg Castle is not open to the public. Therefore, it can only be viewed from the outside.

The German Bird of Prey Observatory at Guttenberg Castle Fascinating world: Around 60 large birds of prey and owls live here. Experience huge birds with a wingspan of over two meters, such as eagles and vultures, but also eagle owls in free flight high above Guttenberg Castle - whatever the weather! The castle's Staufian kennels offer a natural insight into the fascinating world of birds of prey. Interactive touchscreen stations and two display case exhibitions show selected birds of prey in typical habitats and various medium and small-sized birds of prey in Europe. Life-size silhouettes on the castle tower impressively demonstrate the enormous wingspans of birds of prey. (Source: https://burg-guttenberg.de/greifenwarte)

Below and outside the castle grounds - unfortunately closed. Located on the way down to town.

The ascent to the castle was worth it, even if it was still dormant when we visited.

When you come to Zwingenberg you can already see the beautiful castle on its rock. It is privately owned but you can hike around it. Above, a path leads up the Wolfsschlucht. This was very adventurous and absolutely recommendable.

Beautiful chapel below the castle

Beautifully situated castle, from which one has a view of the Neckar and the castles opposite. Birds of prey shows are held here regularly
