    (Translated by Google) A really well-preserved castle that can be climbed free of charge. You can even go up the stairs to the "Schimmelturm". The history of the castle is recorded on boards. The view of the vineyards and the surrounding area is great. There is also a youth hostel up there. (Original) Ein richtig gut erhaltenes Schloss, das kostenfrei erklommen werden kann. Man kann sogar bis ganz nach oben zum "Schimmelturm" die Treppen hoch gehen. Die Geschichte der Schlosses ist auf Tafeln verzeichnet. Der Ausblick auf die Weinberge und die weitere Umgebung ist super. Eine Jugendherberge ist dort oben ebenfalls.

    Beautiful Gothic castle on the top of a hill from which you can calmly view the surrounding areas.

    Wonderful castle with a spectacular view from the main watchtower! Absolutely not crowded and in a perfect condition. There are lots of vineyards all over mountains nearby, visible from the castle. Possible to reach the castle from the village of Ortenberg below and quit it and pass by all vineyards using "Panoramaweg" - see for an information table near the tower entrance. Highly recommend this place!

    I stayed here for 2 nights for visiting Europa-Park for 2 days. Of course the main reason to stay here is to cut your costs. You need to make up your own bed and the breakfast is pretty basic. But you can't expect more than that at this price. The rooms and the building are tidy and comfy and on top of that, the view is breathtaking. There is a cellar to play some pool or table tennis. Very pleased with my stay.

    I visited the castle in the autumn, in a foggy afternoon. A view of the vineyards in the White Sea, I enjoyed brilliantly...

    Small castle on the top of Ortenberg. Beautiful views over Kinzig valley, Offenburg and the surrounded vineyards. There is a parking area for around 15 cars just in the main gate of the castle, otherwise the car must stay 400 m down in town. The castle is the start point for the visit to the Hohes Horn tower point of view 2,5 km.

    (Translated by Google) The castle is very well preserved and maintained with gigantic views of the Kinzig valley and beyond. A subsequent walk through the vines gives you the feeling of some vacation. From a recommended trip. (Original) Das Schloß ist sehr gut erhalten und gepflegt mit gigantischen Aussichten in das Kinzigtal und darüber hinaus. Ein anschließender Spaziergang durch die Reben gibt einem das Gefühl von etwas Urlaub. Aus empfehlenswerter Ausflug.

    (Translated by Google) Hi there, i was here with my class. I was in the room with my best friends Meli, Kardi and Nati. On the second day of our stay we suddenly found a pair of underpants on Nati's bed. It was soiled. The underpants had flowers on them. We didn't know who owned it. An hour later, Meli took a shower and found white (dirty) underpants hanging on the shower. The shouting started immediately. A visitor said here was a panties woman. The food was delicious and the people there were nice. The rooms are good only the way is very tiring. 1 star deduction because of the panties woman everything great! (Original) Hallo, ich war hier mit meiner Klasse. Im Zimmer war ich mit meinen besten freundinnen Meli, Kardi und Nati. Am 2. Tag unseres Aufenthalts fanden wir plötzlich eine Unterhose auf Natis Bett. Sie war beschmutzt. Die Unterhose hatte Blümchen drauf. Wir wussten nicht wem es gehört. Eine Stunde später ging Meli duschen und fand eine weisse (dreckige) Unterhose an der Dusche hängen. Sofort fing das Geschrei an. Eine Besucherin meinte hier wäre eine Unterhosenfrau. Das Essen war lecker und die Leute dort ganz nett. Die Zimmer sind gut nur der Weg ist sehr anstrengend. 1 stern abzug wegen der Unterhosenfrau sonst alles top!!

    (Translated by Google) Very nice and well-preserved castle with parking. Tower climbing possible. Used as a youth hostel, so much is not accessible. The location and surroundings are great. You have wonderful views of the area and the Kinzig valley. There is a small path around the castle ... The castle can be reached with beautiful hikes with a great panorama through the vineyards or from above through the forest. Clear recommendation. (Original) Sehr schönes und gut erhaltenes Schloss mit Parkmöglichkeiten. Turmbesteigung möglich. Wird als Jugendherberge genutzt, daher ist vieles nicht zugänglich. Die Lage und Umgebung ist toll. Man hat wunderbare Ausblicke in die Umgebung und ins Kinzigtal. Ums Schloss herum geht ein kleiner Pfad... Das Schloss kann man mit schönen Wanderungen mit tollem Panorama durch die Weinberge oder auch von oben her durch den Wald bzw toll erreichen. Klare Empfehlung.

    (Translated by Google) Ortenberg Castle is a small pearl of the central Black Forest and indirectly namesake of the largest district in Baden-Württemberg (Ortenaukreis). Idyllically located in the Baden vineyards in front of an enchanting backdrop of hills, it is home to one of the most rustic youth hostels in Germany. Has the wonderful "marriage room" as an insider tip for the perfect, romantic wedding! (Original) Schloß Ortenberg ist eine kleine Perle des mittleren Schwarzwaldes und indirekt Namensgeber des flächengrößten Landkreises Baden-Württembergs (Ortenaukreis). Idyllisch in den badischen Weinbergen vor bezaubernder Hügelkulisse gelegen beherbergt es eine der urigsten Jugendherbergen Deutschlands. Hat als Geheimtipp den wunderschönen "Heiratssaal" für die perfekte,romantische Hochzeit!

    (Translated by Google) We only explored the castle and were not guests in the youth hostel. The castle is incredibly beautiful and there is so much to discover. Unfortunately, you can't get everywhere. But I don't know whether there might be guided tours in the warmer months that make this possible. It is a really magical place where you quickly feel comfortable! Above all, the large rose garden is super beautiful and on the tower, which you have to force through a narrow staircase, you have a wonderful view of the whole area and the super beautiful landscape of the Black Forest and the vineyards! Definitely a great destination for a day trip! (Original) Wir haben nur das Schloss erkundet und waren keine Gäste in der Jugendherberge. Das Schloss ist unglaublich schön und es gibt super vieles zu Entdecken. Leider kommt man nicht überall hin. Ich weiß aber nicht ob in den wärmeren Monaten vielleicht Führungen angeboten werden, die dies ermöglichen. Es ist ein wirklich magischer Ort, an dem man sich schnell wohl fühlt! Vor allem der große Rosengarten ist super schön und auf dem Turm, den man durch eine schmale Treppe erzwingen muss, hat man einen wunderschönes Ausblick auf das ganze Gelände und die super schöne Landschaft des Schwarzwald und der Weinberge! Auf jeden Fall ein tolles Ziel für einen Tagesausflug!

    (Translated by Google) A nice castle, well preserved. We saw it from the road to Gengenbach and decided to stop by to see it. It is currently a Hotel but you can enter to see the castle. Not the interior if you are not a guest. (Original) Un bonito castillo, bien conservado. Lo vimos desde la carretera dirección a Gengenbach y decidimos pasar a verlo. Actualmente es un Hotel pero se puede entrar a ver el castillo. No el interior si no se es huésped.

  • 5/5 Maja W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A wonderful place to stay for a while. Living in a youth hostel in a castle is something who didn't dream of it as a child. The view over the vineyards is fascinating. The only thing that tarnishes the idyll is the ugly escape stairs ;-) (Original) Ein wundervoller Ort zum kurzen verweilen. In einer Jugendherberge auf einem Schloss wohnen, wer hat da als Kind nicht davon geträumt. Der Ausblick über die Weinberge faszieniert. Das einzige was die Idylle trübt ist die hässliche Fluchttreppe ;-)
