Domburg Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Most of the castle has been demolished over the centuries and is likely to be used again in the surrounding villages. But it is still nice to look at.

New record for average speed😏
When you have to cut tours to size, the data isn't exactly accurate...the GPS also kept dropping out.
The Domberg ruins consist almost entirely of two walls, but you can still easily imagine how impressive the castle once was.
The path to the castle through the Hakel is truly beautiful and wonderfully quiet.😊
