(Translated by Google) Hardenstein Castle is one of my favorite places, because around this beautifully preserved castle you can go for a walk or hike. There are several beautiful hiking trails that can be used to approach the castle. It is located directly on the Ruhr. There are several benches at the castle where you can linger. So when I go for a walk there, I always have everything I like at once: nature, forest, water and ruins. We were last there on 3.1.2021 and I can say that the castle was well attended. But people keep their distance from one another. 👍😉 As far as I know there is even a medieval market every now and then. Maybe just do some research. 😉 At least I happened to visit the castle once on such a day when there was a medieval market there. In my opinion, wheelchair users would find it very difficult to get to this place. There are no level paths at the castle itself. A really nice place for families with children, hikers and ruins lovers. A visit there is only recommended. What I also like, they pay attention to cleanliness and there is no rubbish lying around! At the archway there is a garbage can where you can leave your rubbish. 👍 (Original) Burg Hardenstein ist einer meiner Lieblingsorte, denn rund um diese sehr schön erhaltene Burg kann man wunderbar spazieren/wandern gehen. Es gibt mehrere schöner Wanderwege, auf denen man sich der Burg nähern kann. Sie liegt direkt an der Ruhr. An der Burg befinden sich mehrere Bänke zum Verweilen. Somit habe ich bei meinen Spaziergängen dort immer alles auf einmal von dem was ich mag: Natur, Wald, Gewässer und Ruinen. Wir waren am 3.1.2021 zuletzt dort und ich kann sagen, die Burg war gut besucht. Die Menschen halten aber Abstand zueinander. 👍😉 Soweit ich weiß findet dort sogar ab und an auch ein Mittelaltermarkt statt. Vielleicht einfach mal schlau machen. 😉 Zumindest besuchte ich die Burg einmal zufällig an einem solchen Tag, an dem dort ein Mittelaltermarkt stattfand. Rollstuhlfahrer würden diesen Ort meiner Meinung nach nur recht erschwerlich erreichen können. An der Burg selber sind keine ebenen Wege. Für Familien mit Kindern, Wanderlustige und Ruinenliebhaber ein wirklich sehr schöner Ort. Ein Besuch dort ist nur zu empfehlen. Was mir auch gut gefällt, es wird dort auf Sauberkeit geachtet und dort liegt kein Müll rum! Am Torbogen steht eine Mülltonne, in der man seinen Müll hinterlassen kann. 👍

Situated near the banks of the Ruhr river, between tiny mountains and 40 feet trees, the Hardenstein castle, once a center for mining, now a cursed castle, is a very interesting site to explore. The castle was mostly damaged but the ruins will remind you how such a small place had been used in the past both as a defence and a living palace. I went here with my bicycle from kemnader see. To cross the ruhr river there is a ferry operated by RUHR tourisms, which will take you to the other side, towords the castle. They won't charge you any money but you are free to donate some, if you want. When I reached there, it was full of curios kids, who were desperately trying to climb those old walls. I enjoyed walking along the railroad just beside the castle. The rusted rail track indicates that this route has not been used for a long time. This is a very quite palce far away from the city noise. It was very relaxing and refreshing. I would definitely recommend this site if you have a half day to visit

(Translated by Google) An interesting place, the Ruhr flows right next door. There you can hike for hours, with an occasional high gain for the Ruhr area. (Original) Ein interessanter Ort, sofort nebenan fließt die Ruhr. Dort kann man stundenlang wandern, mit gelegentlich ordentlich Höhenmeter für's das Ruhrgebiet.

Small but nice ruins along the Rhein.

The remains of a beautiful old castle. Such a peaceful place.

Amazing view, and the route to here is also easy.

(Translated by Google) A little bit of history while walking on the Ruhr. (Original) Kleines bisschen Geschichte beim spazieren am der Ruhr.

(Translated by Google) A castle ruin, very beautifully located, many forest paths for walking, but you have to share the narrow paths with many cyclists. You have to be a bit fit, as there is a lot of uphill and downhill, overall a very nice destination, you have to bring a lot of time very well for hiking. (Original) Eine Burgruine, sehr schön gelegen, viele Waldwege zum Spazieren gehen, man muss sich die schmalen Wege aber mit vielen Radfahrern teilen. Man muss etwas fit sein, da es viel bergauf und bergab geht, insgesamt ein sehr schönes Ausflugsziel ,man muss viel Zeit mitbringen sehr gut zum Wandern.

Nice and quiet place and not too much crowded. Surrounded by forest, you can go for a walk or cycling and explore the area around the castle as you like. Nearest bus stand is Hardensteiner Weg. There is no entry ticket.

I was so happy to got there. I saw the beauty of old architectural building with the view of river

The place is ruined but it is still very beautiful, looks like some castles from Oblivion or Skyrim games...from one side is surrounded with forest and hills from opposite side with river...I like it very much

Very nice place, you have to take a boat to cross the river, the cost, you just have to give a tip, there´s a box inside the boat and you put the money there, it´s an excellent place to go with the bike. You cannot go inside the ruins because they are protected, actually there are surveillance cameras, but the place, the nature, the river are awesome...

Very interesting place to see... alot of history and nature on one place

Such a lovely walk down to this castle ruin. One of our favorite stops on our trip.

These little, out-of-the-way ruins are fun to explore and pleasantly free of tourists. The area around it is great for walking. The legends about the castle are also pretty fantastic.

Nice historical ruin and aGood place to chill for a bit.

A nice place in Natur

Beautiful hiking terrain towards the ruins. There's not much going on with the castle ruins itself - small and not much happening. Lots of locals picnicking and sunbathing around the grounds - not exactly what I was expecting, sorry. There are several benches nearby, perfect for when you just need to sit down for a short rest. Love the railway track very close to it and the hiking trails.
