Visiting Starkenburg was a fantastic experience! Located just a short and pleasant uphill walk from Heppenheim Bahnhof, this castle is not only steeped in history but also surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. The trail to the top winds through lush greenery, making it a peaceful nature walk with great photo opportunities along the way. Once you reach the top, you’re rewarded with spectacular panoramic views over the vineyards, the town of Heppenheim, and the surrounding hills of the Odenwald region. The castle itself is impressively well-preserved, with its tall towers and thick stone walls transporting you back to medieval times. Be sure to check out the architecture and the crest engraved into the stone! It’s a perfect spot for a day trip, casual hike, or even a picnic on the grassy slopes near the castle. Whether you’re a history lover, photographer, or just looking for a quiet escape in nature, Starkenburg delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended!

Located on top of a hill, you can both drive and hike to visit the castle. There are two options for hiking, 1. You take the regular road route up or 2. You take a little more challenging route up the mountain that allows only one person to walk up or down at a time. I took the second route and I must warn you, it looked rarely used and was overgrown with plants, Don't take this route if you are with children. The climb up takes you through plenty of honey farms, and you can also buy honey from these local farms. The hike takes about an hour, depending on your fitness levels. Photographers paradise. There is not much to explore at the Starkenberg castle itself but the view is breath taking. There is a Biergarten located with the castle grounds and the general atmosphere is relaxed. Overall, worth a visit. Key themes Family and kids friendly Parking available Toilets available Biergarten Hiking Nature Wildlife Views from the mountain History Photography

E' un grande castello in cima ad una collina. La sua prima costruzione risale quasi all'anno mille, quando era una fortezza in pietra e legno, costruita per proteggere il monastero di Lorsch. Nei secoli successivi, è stato fortificato ulteriormente e per più di 600 anni, nessuno è riuscito a conquistarlo. Abbandonato nel XVIII secolo, ha cominciato a cadere in rovina. La leggenda vuole che sia infestato da 2 fantasmi, la Dama Bianca, e Melampo, lo spirito protettore del castello, che apparirebbe in forma di un cane nero. Nel 1924, la sua torre principale, è stata abbattuta per essere ricostruita in posizione diversa da quella originale ( ora è in posizione laterale, rispetto alle mura...) e anche altre 2 torri sono state restaurate. Oggi ospita un Ostello della Gioventù ed un ristorante. Si può salire su 3 delle 7 torri rimaste ed è possibile visitarlo ( salvo disposizioni legate alla pandemia...) con visita guidata, la prima domenica del mese, da maggio a settembre. Si raggiunge in 500 metri di comoda strada, partendo dal posteggio del castello.

Nach einer Anfahrt über eine 'uralte' enge Kopfsteinpflasterstraße gelangt man zum zum Parkplatz. Logisch,man kann diesen Weg auch laufen,aber er ist halt sehr schmal, holprig und steil. Rund um diesen Parkplatz stehen diverse Hinweistafeln die den geneigten Leser mit mehr oder weniger wichtigen Informationen versorgen, je nachdem aus Welchem Grund man dort ist. Ich hatte beruflich in Heppenheim zu tun und wollte wissen welchen Turm ich dort von weitem sah. Direkt am Parkplatz ist eine kleine Sternguggerei, die allerdings pandemiebedingt zur Zeit für den Publikumsverkehr geschlossen ist. Vom Parkplatz zweigen mehrere Wege ab, die von Radlern und Joggern wie auch 'einfachen' Spaziergängern wie mir genutzt werden. Richtung der Starkenburg finden sich auch Tafeln der Sternwarte mit verschieden Informationen. Der Weg zur Burg besteht auch aus Kopfsteinpflaster und überwindet auf einer geschätzten/gefühlten Länge von einem Kilometer laut einer App ca. 20 Höhenmeter und ist für Fußgänger wie auch Radfahrer gut zu bewältigen. Für Menschen mit Handicap wird es je nachdem schon schwieriger. Unterwegs und erst recht 'oben' angekommen hat man ,(in ungefähr 300 Metern Höhe) einen tollen Ausblick auf Heppenheim und die umgebene Landschaft, inklusive Weinberge. Von unterwegs kann man auch auf verschiedenen Wegen zu Fuß in die Altstadt von Heppenheim gelangen. Der Burg angeschlossen ist ein Biergarten, der allerdings auch pandemiebedingt geschlossen ist. Auch auf/in der Burg in der sich eine eine Jugendherberge befindet ist wohl deswegen im Moment "nix los". Aber für Menschen die in Ruhe spazieren gehen,joggen oder Radeln möchten lohnt sich der Weg...
