Battertfelsen at Hohenbaden Castle

Highlight • Climb

At this point you can hardly see anything of the Battert... a few meters further on it gets better

Stone Steps on the Upper Felsenweg

Highlight • Trail

They lead through moss-covered forests and past impressive rock formations – a bit like an enchanted path through the Black Forest.

The old Hohenbaden Castle was the first residence of the powerful Margraves of Baden. It is one of three castles on the Black Forest hills surrounding Baden-Baden. Today, the ruins are impressive due to their immense size. The castle houses a very good restaurant with various rooms, and a beer garden is open in the castle courtyard during the summer.

At first, I went up to the Old Castle first. The idea was good, almost too good. It was just the wrong timing, or the weather and I weren't on the same page that day.

Unfortunately, the inversion weather didn't quite work out this time and we were left in the mud the whole time, but the atmosphere was still great.

Spontaneously back to the battery today. And then of course very early to enjoy the first rays of sunshine. At 6 o'clock the son woke up for school and then it started. Once wrapped up thickly, it has been very fresh in the morning for the last few days. But hardly before the door a mild breeze awaited me so …

September 20, 2023,Baden-Baden: Altes Schloss / Battert

After the visit to Favorite Castle with a guided tour and a walk in the castle park at lunchtime, we drive via Ebersteinburg up to the Old Hohenbaden Castle. Due to the nice weather, a few visitors came here, but we found a parking space without any problems.
The kiosk at the ruins is open; a tent and the surrounding …

May 19, 2025,Rundtour am Battert von Schlossruine Hohenbaden und Bilder von Baden-Baden

The pictures of the hike and the town are unfortunately mixed up.
Baden-Baden had almost a French flair for us, as France isn't far away. The town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and, along with other towns, is one of the "Great Spa Towns of Europe." Lovely cafés, patisseries, and other restaurants and shops. Old and new thermal baths. …

July 2, 2021,Unvernunft im Schneckentempo 🤫👩‍🦯🐆🏰

After the wonderful first excursion we went to the next parking lot after a long break. We wanted to explore the Battertfelsen and the beautiful Hohenbaden Castle. Already during the planning I saw the many great rock paths but no, better not, then only planned around the outside. I ignored the 1st cliff path sign, at the 2nd I just …

First short dog round after a long time. In beautiful weather on the Battertfelsen. We had to turn back in the middle of the rock stairs because we couldn't go any further 🤣🤣🙈
