Of course, it's not good when users misinform you here! Okay, the castle in the picture is in the Lautertal valley, but it's Hohenhundersingen Castle! And it's always accessible! The castle in Bichishausen is nearby, but very rarely open to visitors under supervision! Sincerely, Andy

A castle worth seeing, you can see it clearly from the cycle path.

Beautiful valley, cycling on lonely paths

The remains of Günzelburg Castle are located on a wooded ridge not far from the Lone Valley. Today, only a few fragments of the walls remain of the former castle, which was presumably built in the early Middle Ages. Its location suggests a former defensive function. The site is accessible via a footpath and offers beautiful views of the surrounding area. Information panels on site provide insights into the history of the complex and previous archaeological investigations.

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.

Bichishausen Castle in the Lauter Valley

The Rusenschloß is worth a visit, it is beautifully restored and offers a beautiful view of the Blautal.
