The Günzelburg ruins, also called Greifenburg, Gryffenburg and Denzelburg, are the ruins of a rock castle on a 685 m above sea level rock tower above the village of Weiler near Seißen, a district of the town of Blaubeuren. The castle was built in the late 13th century by the Grif von Berkach, probably as a successor to a castle on the nearby Wachtfels. The Lords of Berkach were ministerials of the Counts of Berg. The subsequent owners are named as the Lords of Weiler and the Lords of Westernach at the end of the 14th century, Ulrich von Westerstetten in 1460 and after 1460 the Blaubeuren monastery. The name of the castle Denzelburg, probably Tünzelburg, mentioned in 1464, probably goes back to a later owner of the castle. By 1477 the complex was in a state of disrepair, it is said: "The ruins of the walls of Gintzelburg Castle, which protrude over the house (= the Franciscan monastery) on the top of the rock, also caused damage to this house..." Remains of the walls of the former castle complex, which had a hook-shaped shield wall, are still preserved. The core castle had a floor area of about 20 by 21 meters.

A very nice view

You have to squeeze past the crevice, turn around once and then you have a great view of the two little pigs

Highly recommended, I think 🤗 can also be combined with the Blautopf 🤩

An absolutely stunning place. The circular trail around the Blautopf is highly recommended. The Blautopf (21 meters deep) is a karst spring from which the Blau River rises.

Magnificent view over Blaubeuren into the Blautal.

Unfortunately, not much can be seen from the ruins of the castle, but the view after climbing the stairs is fantastic.
