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.

The Wolfsschlucht from Zwingenberg Castle is one of the most beautiful gorges in the Odenwald/Neckar Valley.
You really should be sure-footed and white sneakers are not recommended either, as it is steep, slippery and impassable in places, but you can definitely take children with you, as the "climbing" and the mystical surroundings help you overcome the 300+ meters in altitude …

May 11, 2024,Oberdielbach | Zwingenberg - Wolfsschlucht Runde

We started at the hiking car park "Am Sportplatz Oberdielbach" and first hiked to Zwingenberg Castle. If you look at the elevation profile, this is the lowest point and we hiked down about 300 m.

The path to the west, north of DIELBACHER STRAßE, is almost impossible to walk on because of the vegetation. It would be better to replan here.
