The historic Wartensee Castle, dating from the 13th century, is located on the Rorschacherberg hill. It also features a historic chapel, and the castle itself houses a Gothic hall. From the beautiful garden terrace, one has a breathtaking panoramic view of Lake Constance.

Around 1100, the Count of Bregenz built the castle on a rocky outcrop of the Gebhardsberg, high above the city. "Sunken in holy enthusiasm..." begins a poem inspired by Hohen Bregenz Castle. In 1143, the castle passed to the Counts of Pulllendorf, and shortly thereafter, around 1170, to Count Palatine Hugo II of Tübingen (father of Hugo I, Count of Montfort). The upper part of the castle was sold to the Habsburgs in 1451, and the lower part in 1523, and the castle became the seat of Austrian bailiffs. Converted into a fortress at the beginning of the 17th century, the Swedes blew up large sections of the castle during the Thirty Years' War. The circular wall and parts of the palace survived. The attached church became a popular place of pilgrimage in honor of Saint Gebhard. The old sacristan's house, which has since been converted into a restaurant, looks forward to your visit. Even today, the fantastic view over the Rhine Valley and Lake Constance attracts numerous visitors.

After the climb, the trip to the castle is worth it for the view. Great view over the lake.

History of Hohenbregenz Castle. The castle was built in the last quarter of the 11th century (before 1097) by the Counts of Bregenz (Ulriche). The castle was first mentioned in a document in 1209. In 1143 the castle passed to the Counts of Pfullendorf, but only remained in their possession for a short time. Just a few years later (1170) it came to Count Palatine Hugo of Tübingen (father of Hugo I, Count of Montfort). The upper part of the castle was sold in 1451 and the lower part of the castle in 1523 to the Habsburgs, who made the castle the seat of Austrian bailiffs. At the beginning of the 17th century the castle was expanded into a fortress. In 1647, towards the end of the Thirty Years' War, they were able to capture Swedish troops without a fight. They blew up the fortress in the same year by setting off five mines (see Naval War on Lake Constance 1632–1648). Source: Wikipedia

Very beautiful ruins, high above the Rhine Delta and Lake Constance. Above there is a nice viewing point and rest area with tables and benches.

After a pleasant, cool climb through the forest you reach the Burghalde with the Grimmenstein castle ruins. A wonderful view opens up of Lake Constance and the three neighboring states.

Access to the ruins is currently completely blocked (3.23).

Wartensee Castle is located on a hill in Rorschacherberg above Lake Constance. It is surrounded by a large park and was once the country estate of a wealthy family. The history of the castle goes back to the 13th century. Its current form was achieved through a renovation in the 19th century. Only then did it acquire its current style, characterized by neo-Gothic elements. Today Wartensee Castle is used as a hotel and event location.
