Best places: Historical landmarks in Gurtweil, Germany

👍👍 Visiting the Festungsruine castle was an extraordinary journey through time, even though the castle itself is 90% gone. The remnants of this once-majestic structure tell a poignant story of history and resilience that left a profound impact on me. Despite the castle's diminished state, its charm and...

Reconstructed gate tower originally built for defense in the early 13th century with a large clock.

👍👍 Staufen is a quaint old village with many beautiful buildings and a walk up to the castle is the best way to view it. A walk from the train station takes you thought the town and past all the surrounding vineyards. There’s not too much to see at the castle itself but it’s all worthwhile just for the...

👍 Very nice preserved old ruin that you can walk up to fairly easily if you have average mobility. Good views on clear days. You can also choose to go up the sloping ramp or up the steps. We went up one way then down the other. After all this excercise you can treat yourself to a well earned coffee an...

👍👍 If you are looking for joy of discovery in your Black Forest hiking, then it's a good place to visit. You can park on the mountain road, and then descend and ascend to arrive at the ruined fort. Must have been quite a vantage point in its days of glory.

Tranquil spring next to a palace, considered by some to be the birthplace of the Danube River.

👍👍 DO THE GUIDED TOUR. Tickets are bought inside at the beginning of the tour 7€ (2023). Amazing Rococo castle where you can visit around 6 rooms. Rooms are very well decorated and the guide tells a lot of information in every room. Pay attention to the guided tour schedule or wait in the garden or caf...

👍👍 A beautiful view from above, the way was also very exciting. I'm glad to share some photos from there.

Abstract equestrian monument, inaugurated in 1965 to replace a 19th-c. statue destroyed in WWII.

👍👍 Burgruine Schneeburg is what remains today of a centuries old castle overlooking Ebringen and Freiburg im Breisgau. While mostly in ruins, a few sections of walls still stand today. Also mostly intact is the well which stands between the two sections of the walls. The ruins also offer breathtaking v...

👍👍 Ein schöner Brunnen und tolle Figuren.

👍👍 The place is so peaceful and beautiful! There's more than a restaurant here - there are also gift shops to get souvenirs and a beautiful little stream with water wheels spinning. The food is really good! We especially recommend the beef stake with caramelized onions with Spaetzle. The Black Forest c...

👍👍 In Germany, Regensburg region (the border of France and Switzerland, 40-50km to both side) Drubba Cuckoo clock factory is famous for the masterpiece item of Cuckoo clocks. It's a natural evergreen village in the thick black forest. Showcased enormous designs of clocks to sell both automatic and batt...

👍👍 Lovely place for a picnic or a rest on the Westweg trail. The tower was open so I could climb the stairs to the top for some great views.

Enduring castle with a moat featuring an upscale restaurant & 12 refined guestrooms.

👍👍 Very worth seeing is the Roman bath ruins, which is covered. The low entrance fee is definitely worth it. You walk around in this historic building, even walk over a bridge directly over the old bathrooms and can read on posted large information boards exactly what there is interesting and informat...

👍 Wir sind vom Bahnhof links weg durch die angrenzenden Häuser auf dem Pfad gelaufen und nicht durchs Dorf. Wir waren für ein Kleinkind mit Kraxe unterwegs. Kurzer Trip mit Picknick am Grillplatz am für uns Highlight des Weges bei den Felsen. Ansonsten eine schöne nicht zu anstrengende Waldrunde.
