Dietfurt Castle Ruin
Highlight • Castle
The castle is one of the early castles founded in the 11th century. However, the rock was inhabited much earlier. Excavations in the castle cave yielded finds from the Late Paleolithic (Old Stone Age), the Neolithic (New Stone Age), the Middle Bronze Age, the younger Urnfield period, the middle and later Hallstatt period, the Roman era and the Middle Ages. The name "Dietfurt", Old High German as Diota, the people, also indicates early settlement.
The name Dietfurt was first mentioned in 1095 in connection with the founding of the Alpirsbach monastery, when the brothers Heinrich, Eberhard and Hermann von Dietfurt were named as witnesses. The Dietfurt brothers are mentioned again in a document from 1125 concerning the Alpirsbach monastery. In 1132, the steward of Waldburg, Berthold, renounced the imperial fief of Dietfurt in favor of Count Mangold II of Nellenburg in the presence of the king. By this time, the nobles of Dietfurt had already died out.
The cave was made safe to walk on by the Sigmaringen mountain rescue team and equipped with electric light. The entire area and the cave are not open to the public, however, in individual cases visits are possible after consultation with the mountain rescue team.

Gutenstein Castle
Highlight • Castle
The building has a T-shaped layout with three gables and is a three-storey plastered limestone construction in spur position. The plant is surrounded by a rectangular castle wall, on the north wall is a freestanding round tower. A well that was spilled today, which was probably used for water supply and in wartime for other purposes, led through the castle rock to the Danube.

Ruins of Unterfalkenstein Castle
Highlight • Castle
A castle site standing on steep rocks, which is also extremely difficult to access from the mountain side. It has a base area of 12 x 12 m.
Dendrological investigations have shown that the castle was built around 1100 and is therefore one of the oldest verifiable castle sites in the Danube valley.
Unterfalkenstein is therefore the predecessor of the upper Falkenstein Castle.
