아펜바이어‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪19‬개의 동굴

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.

The view of the vineyards is absolutely a highlight

The climb to Stauffenberg Castle is definitely worth it, from here you have a wonderful view over the Rhine Valley and an excellent place to stop for a break with regional food and wine from the in-house Margraf von Baden winery

Nice path through the vineyards

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.

There must be a lot of prayers here

Once founded by hermits and monks who were dedicated to praying in solitude, the lonely place developed into a place of pilgrimage after around 1455. Destroyed in the Peasants' War in 1524, the chapel was rebuilt in 1540-1550. In 1632 during the Thirty Years' War it was destroyed again by the Swedes. The choir continued to be used for church services afterwards. 1790 last mass by the priest of Durbach. After that, the chapel was forgotten and until a few decades ago it was overgrown and almost impossible to find. The ruin was lovingly restored from 1988-1995.
