Beautiful castle ruin 🤩

The barrier to the ruins has been partially removed and is now accessible again. As of September 14, 2025. 😉

Beautifully situated and very helpful in bad weather, but also suitable as protection from the sun in midsummer.

A very nice bike path

The Hinterfrankenberg castle ruins are a fascinating destination for anyone who wants to combine history and nature. The remains of the former castle are idyllically situated on a hill and offer a great view of the surrounding landscape. Although only ruins remain of the castle, you can feel the breath of times gone by here. The old walls, some of which have been reclaimed by nature, are particularly impressive. Sturdy shoes are recommended as the paths to the ruins can be uneven in places. A visit is particularly worthwhile for history buffs and hikers looking for a quiet place to linger. Don't forget to bring your binoculars - the view is worth it!

Hinterfrankenberg Castle Ruins is an interesting place

The Hirschteich is considered to be one of the three Altmühl sources. However, since this source dries up again and again in dry periods, it is considered unlikely. Since 1904, the Hornauer Weiher has been officially designated as the Altmühl source.

Hinterfrankenberg Castle is the second castle on the Frankenberg, next to Frankenberg Castle (Vorderfrankenberg Castle). Both structures are only about 62 meters apart. Hinterfrankenberg Castle is the older of the two structures. At its maximum length, the castle was 230 meters long. The castle area was protected by several outer castles and ditches. The actual main castle consisted of a ring with five towers. A round keep stood free in the castle courtyard. After it was used as a quarry in the 19th century, the double tower, two vault remains, the formwork of a well and a single wall remainder have been preserved.
