Old town around Ettlingen Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

Ettlingen Castle is a baroque castle in the center of the Baden-Württemberg town of Ettlingen.
Today's castle had two, possibly three, previous buildings. After the Baden Margrave Hermann V was enfeoffed by Emperor Friedrich II with the town of Ettlingen, which was founded by the Hohenstaufens, his son Margrave Rudolf I of Baden built a castle complex in the middle of the 13th century - possibly on the remains of a previous Hohenstaufen building; However, a previous building has not yet been proven. The lower floors of the keep in the castle courtyard, which are still preserved today, date from this time.

A magnificent Renaissance castle followed in the 16th century. Two round corner towers were added to the south wing, and the keep was given a half-timbered upper floor. The three-wing Renaissance complex around the old keep, completed in 1600, was destroyed along with the entire city by French troops in the War of the Palatinate Succession in 1689.

Here you are on the Graf-Rhena-Weg in the Albtal. The path is the classic path through the Albtal. It leads picturesquely along meadows through the Black Forest landscape. The path takes its name from the German diplomat Friedrich von Rhena.

View from Hahnenfalzhütte

Highlight • Viewpoint

Sometimes the Hahnenfalzhütte is run by the Bad Herrenalb ski guild on weekends and serves cool drinks. In winter it is cozy inside with a tiled stove.

Lehen-Hütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The special feature is the large rhizome of a silver fir, which is turned upside down as a table in the hut. Nice hut for a little break.
