PLEASE learn from our mistakes. We are a 60ish couple in good shape. This castle is in the middle of nowhere, and there is a reason why it was never overtaken. We made the horrible decision to take the train. First off, the town train station is closed so the end of the trip was on a little bus. It dropped us outside of town. We finally found an open cafe [on a Sunday] and they looked like they couldn't understand why we were going up there. Google maps horrendously underestimates the walking time. For part of the hike, my partner's phone showed different directions than mine, both in Google maps. Not to dump on Google, they've done a fantastic job of mapping every inch of the planet it seems. At first we hiked up until we were in weeds, then turned back. Then we hiked to a highway, then turned back. Finally found a TINY arrow pointing up. After about 2km were finally at the top. We paid to go in. Then we found out to enter the buildings we would have had to pay yet again to be on a formal tour. We were worried about finding the bus stop in the middle of nowhere again, and whether we would have enough juice left to hike back down, and to find the bus stop if we took the tour. We took a few photos, rested, and hiked back down. This is NOT a place to go if you don't have a car or are on a tour. I had visions of needing the town police to come carry me down the mountain or being trapped there and not able to find our way back to Munich the same afternoon. I did do a lot of research and YouTube videos, and it is a lovely place. The logistics though are horrible, and it took most of the day when our time here was at a premium. So I would advise only going as part of a group and if you have a lot of days to spend in the area. It just wasn't worth the time and physical effort to get there and back to Munich. Add in the anxiety of trying to find a tiny bus stop sign when you can't read German and there are many checks in the minus column. Sorry Harburg, but the town needs much better signage and realistic walking times. Never should have attempted it, pretty countryside, but riding trains and busses all day does not make a good...

Die Burg Harburg ist wirklich mehr als nur einen Blick wert. Der Eintritt ist sehr erschwinglich aber schon das Personal am Einlass Macht diesen kleinen Betrag wieder weg😅, die Freundlichkeit sämtlicher "Burgherren" ist mehr als nur angemessen für Jung und Alt,man wird dort tatsächlich in einer Herzlichkeit willkommen geheißen die in der heutigen Zeit leider nicht überall mehr zu Tage gelegt wird. Die Burg für sich ist leider auf Bildern nicht in seiner Imposantheit fest zu halten. Schon auf dem Wege hoch zu Burg ,die auch als invalider mit Gehbehinderung erreichbar ist, sieht man die Detailverliebtheit und den Charm der Burgherren die selbst an die kleinsten Besucher gedacht haben und verschiedene deutsche Märchen aufgegriffen haben um die Burg zum Abenteuer für groß und klein zu machen. So gibt es zum Beispiel viele kleine aber schöne Hingucker wie zb. Ein Schlossgespenst oder Rapunzels Haar welches aus einem Burgfenster hinunter reicht und noch vieles mehr. Die Burg sollte auf jeden Fall in einer Führung und davor oder danach im Alleingang erkundet werden. Die Burg und die Anlagen um die Burg gelegen benötigen aber etwas Zeit um erkundet zu werden. Die Rundgänge um die Burg selbst herum sind leider nicht mehr für Menschen mit Gehbehinderung erreichbar da dies die Geographie nicht zulässt,aber man kommt definitiv auf seine Kosten wenn man Interesse an Burgen hat. Der Souvenirshop im Innenhof der Burg ist klein aber sehr schön, in ihm findet man für die kleinsten und die größten garantiert ein anständiges und auch angemessenes Andenken. So kann man hier vom kleinen Holzschwert bis zum feinen Ritterschwert(Replik aus Edelstahl) über Ketten und Anhänger sogar Gold erwerben (erschwinglich, wenig aber echt). Die kleine Kapelle in der Burg hat mich besonders beeindruckt,hier möchte ich nichts vorweg nehmen,kann aber nur jedem ans Herz legen diese andächtig und Respektvoll zu besuchen. Ich muss noch einmal kurz die Freundlichkeit und Versiertheit der Mitarbeiter dort loben,denn diese ist mir wirklich im Gedächtnis geblieben. Grundsätzlich ein toller Ausflugstipp für Jung und Alt. Kühle Getränke können hier auch zu einem günstigen Preis erworben werden der mich überrascht hatte aber ich bitte die Burgherren diesen aufgrund meiner Einschätzung nicht zu erhöhen 😅. Es gibt dort natürlich auch noch eine kleinere Gastronomie,diese habe ich leider nicht mehr besuchen können da meine Kinder andere Pläne hatten 😅. Schaut's euch selber an, wenn ihr Burgen liebt dann verliert euch nicht. Liebe Grüße Btw das große Schwert kostete...

Nestled amidst picturesque surroundings, this beautifully restored 1,100-year-old castle offers a unique blend of history and luxury. Inside, you'll find a renowned, upscale restaurant, known for its exquisite cuisine and elegant ambiance. While dining here is a memorable experience, be aware that it comes with a high price tag.

The castle is situated in a quaint, traditional village where the locals cherish their peace and quiet. Visitors are advised to respect their privacy and avoid asking too many questions.

The castle is wheelchair-friendly, though the path leading up to it is somewhat steep. An electric wheelchair is recommended for ease of access. Admission is reasonably priced at around €3 for those in wheelchairs and €4 for others. Paid parking is conveniently located within...
