Homburg Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The first stone has stood on the next here since 1008... as a castle always undefeated! A real hiker's hit, including the surrounding landscape that is under nature protection

Homburg Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The Homburg was built 1028 - 1031 Reinhart von Hohenberg from Adelsberg. Highly recommended is the visit to the "Schoppen Franz" a Franconian wine tavern with panoramic views.

Generous, spacious facility where people will surely gather at the right time.. Seating and rest areas available... on my lap that was rainy today, the only dry spot was a shelter

Highlight • Natural

Even the small branch off the main path is a real blast due to the predominant vegetation in the landscape... and here too the view of the ruins is included
