Zwingenberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Beautiful castle located just above the Neckar - unfortunately, the castle is privately owned and therefore not easy to visit. Directly behind the castle begins the Wolfsschlucht.

If you prefer circular routes, you should make an exception here and hike back down the Wolfsschlucht 🥾
Downhill sticks are very helpful 👍🏻

The Wolfsschlucht is very beautiful. After heavy rain, sturdy waterproof shoes are necessary. The paths are mostly unsecured. Pure nature. On a Tuesday in October, I didn't see a soul. I was on the trail for a good 2 hours

We were on the Neckar River all weekend and our main goal was to visit Wolf Canyon and Margarette Gorge. Both attractions were delightful - the rushing streams made us constantly feel dizzy, and the panoramas of the Neckar River were simply amazing 😲

Right next to the castle, the ascent begins through the approximately 1 km long gorge formed by the castle stream. The tour can be extended using an extensive network of hiking trails.

I love this gorge and hiked it for the first time on a public holiday in good weather. Lots of people...very little water for the first week of May.
But still recommended.
