A detour to the Kraftstein ruins is definitely worth it. There is a small model of the castle, an information board, a bench and even a small remnant of the wall. The further descent is actually not worth it (see Turbo dated December 27, 2022).

There is not much to see of the former castle. The numerous information boards give you a good insight into the history of Hohenberg Castle. Benches with a great view invite you to linger

So close and then further away when you want to walk there.

Zimmern unter der Burg is a municipality in the Zollernalbkreis in Baden-Württemberg (Germany). The municipal area belongs to the Oberes Schlichemtal recreation area. The place was mentioned around 1275 as Zimbern (timbered building). Later also Zerbrochen Zimmern or Brochenzimmern and Zimmern im Löchlin. Since around 1600, mainly rooms “under the castle” coat of arms Blazon: Shield divided with three central rising peaks of silver (white) and red. Around 1930, the community included a naturalistic representation of a castle standing on a high rock in a shield-shaped frame in its official seal. Although the Stuttgart Archives Directorate suggested colors for this coat of arms on November 27, 1933, it was not awarded. After the Second World War, the community took over the family coat of arms of the extinct Counts of Sulz, under whose rule it had been in the Middle Ages. The coat of arms was awarded by the Württemberg-Hohenzollern Ministry of the Interior on June 8, 1949, and the flag by the district office on March 29, 1982.

The castle, built in 1764, now serves as a town hall, community center and kindergarten Rooms under the castle - Zollernalbkreis

with a very interesting story about the exuberance of the robber barons

It's not really worth scrambling down to the wall on the steep, (when wet) very slippery path. You can only see from above where the small model is

An impressive place that definitely justifies a little bike break... 😅
