The Braunfels Castle with everything that goes with it is always worth a visit.

Hiking

The gate leads through the ring wall into the castle complex. Here there are more pretty half-timbered houses and a fountain.
Braunfels Castle is still inhabited by the princely family. There are regular tours and events at the castle.
The castle was built in 1246. In 1300, defense towers and ring walls were added.

Hiking

From the top of a basalt cone, Braunfels Castle greets visitors from afar. The castle has been in the family's possession for almost 800 years and is now a living cultural monument, rich in very special art treasures and still inhabited by the family today.
