Today's remains on a hill deceive the original extent of the castle. The outer bailey was left to nature and is now almost invisible. As you can read on the information board on site, it was built to protect silver mining and was given as a fief by the Zähringer family to the von Keppenbach family. It later became the Gahnerbenburg, i.e. part of a community of heirs. But the owners became impoverished and became robber barons, so the castle was destroyed by the citizens of Freiburg. The new building only lasted until the Peasants' War. But a lot has been preserved in this remote location. You can find various secured remains of the wall and understand the original structure. According to Wikipedia, there is said to have been a keep outside, no visible remains today, see note on the outer bailey. To visit Sägeblatt at the intersection over the bridge, if you haven't found a parking space yet, drive over and then park at the hiking board or on the edge of the Schweizerloch. Then follow the path shown by the signs and stay on it.

A small but well-renovated robber baron ruin, we walked there from the Freiamt community center (Sägplatz). The climb to the castle takes a long time, but it was worth it.

A very beautiful hidden ruin. The paths around and to the castle are wonderful.

(Translated by Google) Very nice circular route from the Sägplatz car park, easy to walk, even with small children. (Original) Sehr schöner Rundweg ab dem Parkplatz Sägplatz, gut zu laufen, auch mit kleinen Kindern.

Eine Burgruine auf einem Maulwurfshügel erbaut. 😏

Located in the forest and nice to look at 👍

(Translated by Google) Can be reached with a pram from the sawmill. rather limited view. Ok if you are nearby. (Original) Ab dem Sägeplatz mit dem Kinderwagen zu erreichen. Aussicht eher eingeschränkt. Ok, wenn man in der Nähe ist.

We went running to the Keppenburg in Freiamt, it was very nice and we had good weather.

(Translated by Google) A few remains of the wall, nothing more. Is just a hiking destination. (Original) Ein paar Mauerreste, mehr nicht. Ist halt ein Wanderziel.

Schöne, kleine Burgruine. Der Weg zur Burg ist nicht sehr weit, ideal für Kinder. Parkplätze gibt es am Sägeplatz.

Of these small ruins surrounded by greenery, what remains is a good structure and an area that has been equipped with tables for refreshment. A quiet place to admire the landscape and relax after a long bike ride. Silence and nature
