LD POSE

There is no driving or parking anywhere near the castle. We drove around in circles for about 30 minutes on dirt road without finding the place, then I hiked 20 minutes to get to the spot. My partner had to stay in the car waiting since there was no parking anywhere near and didn’t want to waste the trip. Would not try unless you have a lot of spare time to hike up.

Wilderness and footprints of brutal life in medieval Europe. No places to hide, all and every walls doomed to be destroyed.

Amazing castle though mostly ruins and under construction to have it restored.

One of the best castle I ever visited. Kids loved it and I loved it too. Long hike but it was worth it. Great views if you climb up to the windows hard but good

Worth the hike. Very cool experience.

Beautiful medieval castle in the middle of the woods. If you drive up from Barr you can already see the two towers rising above the treetops. I think the people who complain about the building material and scaffolding are a bit silly: at least it shows that there are people (volunteers in this case) working here to preserve this monument and keep it accessible for you, for free nonetheless. It's very minimal anyway. Sadly the audiotour QR codes don't work anymore and apart from that there is little information on site about the history, that's a shame. However, the website is quite elaborate so that's nice.

A ruined castle being rebuilt by volunteers. At the end of a nice 1.5 km (1 mi) mostly-flat hike (probably do-able with a stroller, but not wheelchair accessible).

Free! It's only a 3 km stroll up a reasonably surfaced forest track from the middle of Mittelbergheim and a great way to pay off some wine calories (200 metre climb). Shaded route, ideal for warm days and rainy alternatives too.
