Came here on a late May afternoon with a friend and our kids (ages six, five, three, and 1.5 years). All I knew (based on reviews and website) was that we would have to pay for tickets for anyone larger than a sword and that the tour started at 2, and that we might have to walk up a steep hill to get to the castle but that was it. We used Google maps to get there, which brought us to a small street in a tiny village without any clear path and told me “you have arrived”. I asked someone who lived in one of the houses there and he said to keep going, bear left after the homes ended, and that there would be a small parking lot on the left. He was right, and we parked there and followed signs for the castle (“schloss”). It was about a 10 minute walk at children’s pace, with me wearing the baby, and towards the end having the three year old sitting on my shoulders - it was somewhat steep, not the worst we’ve encountered but I was short of breath carrying both kids. We found out we could have kept on driving and pulled up directly in front of the castle. The tour had about 20 people in it and there were 3-4 cars parked close wi the 3-4 potential spots left along the road. The tour had already started as we were 5-10 minutes late, and was done only in German, however the caretaker of the property was incredibly kind and speaks German, French, and English. He gave us a Brief overview of what the tour guide was saying and a map after buying tickets from him for five euros just for us two adults. He said we could roam at our leisure, which is basically what we ended up doing as we couldn’t understand the tour being given in Germany only. From what I could tell, the tour guide was humorous as there were many times that the entire group was laughing. I would guess the tour took roughly an hour. There were many places to explore, and a few furnished and decorated rooms which really lets you imagine what it was like to live in those times. The castle itself is in wonderful condition, and dates back to the 1100s. There is a good amount of history you can read up on on their website online. We stayed there just over two hours exploring. There are plenty of benches and tables to have a snack if you bring food with you and they have water and wine available at the end of the tour in the knights hall. The view from the tallest tower was incredible, though it was a little nerve-racking climbing up there wearing the baby and with a three-year-old. Five and six-year-olds had no problem. There are bathrooms, which are open and require you to go down one flight of stairs once you’re in the castle. Overall, I was so happy to have made the hour long trek to this castle and was more than impressed with the staff and facilities. I highly recommend it to anyone, even if you don’t speak German as it is fun to explore regardless and they did their best to accommodate us despite our language limitation. They also shot the cannon at the start of the tour; we were still down in the parking lot when we heard it, and then they launched the catapult with nothing in it, both being such a cool features of the tour. The local village was adorable and awesome drive and had a few restaurants open that looked like they would have been wonderful spots to stop for a meal or beverage....

Wir haben uns heute zu einer tollen Wanderung zum Schloss aufgemacht. Nachdem wir vorab von Kastellan Dominik freundlich telefonisch beraten wurden, dass die Führung und damit einhergehende Besichtigung nur mittwochs 15 Uhr stattfindet, haben wir uns den Tag entsprechend so geplant. Auf der Homepage steht dies aber auch nochmal genau aufgeführt. Als wir ankamen wurden wir mit mehreren anderen freundlich empfangen. Die Führung begann pünktlich und wurde vom Besitzer selbst geleitet. Die Führung war einfach klasse. Viele interessante Informationen, einen Kanonenschuss, eine Vorführung einer Art Katapult, eine komplette Rundführung und schöne Geschichten und Sagen zum Schloss. Das besondere Highlight ist der Rittersaal und der Rundumblick vom Turm. Wir waren mit unseren 2 Kindern da. Die beiden kurzen haben gebannt zugehört und wir haben die Burg mit leuchtenden Kinderaugen wieder verlassen. Für 8 Euro bekommt man hier verdammt viel Mittelalter. Die Führung dauerte rund 1,5 h und war einfach rundum klasse. Es ist toll, dass sich der Besitzer so viel Mühe gibt.

Für mich eine der schönsten Anlagen im ganzen Umkreis und eine der tollsten Führungen die ich jemals mitgemacht habe.

Ganz großes Lob und eine klare Empfehlung für alle...

Traumhaft!!! Einfach traumhaft!! Wir waren im September 2021 hier. Die Anfahrt war wirklich sehr steil, doch unsere Ebikes haben uns gut sehr gut dabei unterstützt. Die Anlage ist wunderbar und man fühlt sich in die Zeit zurückversetzt. Einmal in der Woche, mittwochs um 14.00h, kann man an einer Führung, für 5 Silberlinge, teilnehmen. Der Schlossherr persönlich, im eigentlichen Leben ein Rechtsanwalt, gibt sich die Ehre. Absolut empfehlenswert!! Er führt mit fundiertem Wissen durch die Gemäuer und Geschichte des Schlosses. Dies gespickt mit Anekdoten und kleinen Vorführungen. Ich wurde z.B als Hexe erkannt und bekam meine Verurteilung. Der Höhepunkt war die original nachgebaute Steinschleuder, die Mithilfe von einer Uni konzipiert wurde. Diese wurde dann auch vorgeführt. Es war die beste Führung, die wir bisher irgendwo erlebt haben. Es war ein imposantes Schauspiel, sehr beeindruckend. Dadurch ist vieles von der Information bei uns sehr gut im Gedächtnis geblieben.

Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder. Danke für die...

Wenn ich mehr Sterne geben könnte, würde ich das sofort machen. Der Besitzer und Eigentümer des Schlosses ist ein wunderbarer, aufgeschlossener Mensch, der mit viel Liebe und Leidenschaft die Rundführung durchführt. Wer zufällig in der Gegend ist und mittwochs ab 14:00 Uhr für zwei Stunden Zeit und Lust hat, sollte diese Tour auf jeden Fall mitmachen. Lebhaft erzählt er die Geschichte des Schlosses und lässt bei schönem Wetter sogar die Kanone feuern. Die Ruinen sind gut erhalten und durch die Erzählung des Eigentümers, werden sie quasi lebendig. Sowohl Kinder, als auch Erwachsene, kommen hier auf ihre Kosten. Und fünf Silberlinge (5 Euro) (außer für Kinder in Schwertgröße) sind absolut gerechtfertigt. Ich kann die Rundführung nur wärmstens empfehlen.
