フライブルク地区の洞窟・トップ20

The present ruins of the summit castle are located on the summit of the 644 m high Hohenkrähen ("Krayen"), a mountain of volcanic origin north of Singen in the Hegau, between the villages of Duchtlingen, Schlatt unter Krähen and Mühlhausen in the Duchtlingen district.

Steep but well-secured stone path to the castle ruins.

In the 11th/12th century, the Zähringers built a castle on this site to protect the Kinzig Valley. In the 15th century, the castle was expanded to include defense towers. At the end of the 17th century, the castle was destroyed twice. In the 18th century, the current castle was built in the English style on the ruins of the old castle. Today, there is a youth hostel and a wine-producing farm here.

A court linden tree was a single, very old tree near the town. This was where the Thing, a council meeting, was held, where justice was also dispensed.

This historic building is in an exposed location between Kinzig and the hills of the Black Forest and offers beautiful views - it is also an eye-catcher itself.

Finds and excavations indicate that as early as Roman times there was a watchtower on the hill at the site of today's castle ruins. The castle probably dates from the early 12th century and was built by the Lords of Staufen. Adalbert von Staufen built the castle house around 1100. Staufen Castle was explicitly mentioned for the first time in a document from 1248; However, the Üsenbergers, referred to in this context as landlords, never sat in the castle.[2] In the 14th century, a lack of money and unsuccessful feuds between the Lords of Staufen and the nearby city of Freiburg meant that Freiburg was able to gain influence over Staufen Castle.[3] SOURCE: Wikipedia

Worth seeing monastery ruins. In summer, the ruins serve as a theater backdrop.

Breathtaking view over the Rhine Valley.
