Came here on a Friday August afternoon with my three kids nearly ages 6, 4, and 2). We were able to drive all the way up to the castle, where there were multiple spots available (I'd guess there are about 10 spots, and only 3 were taken). I suggest making the "Grimburg WC" your Google Maps GPS destination, as that will bring you directly to the parking lot, whereas using "Grimburg castle" will only bring you to the preceding road, still about a kilometer away from the parking lot. There happened to be a wedding finishing up in the ruin when we arrived, though it seemed most of the guests had parked on the opposite side of the castle. Prior to the end of the parking lot, there is a tower you can look at but cannot enter (unless you are staying the night there, I believe). There is a very clean bathroom facility right at the parking lot, and then once you start walking into the ruin there is a small playground within the outer ruin walls with a net swing and a single wooden horse to ride. There are a few outer ruin rooms to see there, and then you walk by a pavilion with a garbage and multiple tables to snack at, and then you enter the actual castle grounds. There is a bridge over what looks like it may have been a moat and then an inner courtyard, with an adjacent chapel and multiple ruined rooms to explore. You can walk around the castle to the right, which will bring you around back to two more towers (one of which has more seating for picnicking) and another large outer courtyard, and back into the castle, where you can see a few more ruined rooms and an herb garden, and ultimately back to a staircase that enters the inner castle courtyard. There is also a tower within the main body of the ruin that you can climb up to, with safe wooden stairs that finishes with a semi steep ladder-like staircase. The top of the tower is covered and quite safe, though there were many arrow slit windows on the climb up I think my kids coould have squeezed through. I wore the toddler all the way up to tower but the 4 and 6 year olds walked the whole way without complaint. There were many garbages on the outskirts of the castle but no food or beverage options, unless you were attending the wedding :) We spent almost 2 hours here having snacks, playing in the playground, and exploring the ruins. It was particularly nice being able to park so close. There is a restaurant called Grimburger Hof with a nice outdoor seating area that I would have liked to stop at if I didn't need to get home. This was an hour's drive for us but well worth it!

Wir haben heute zum ersten Mal die Grimburg anlässlich des Burgfests besucht und waren überrascht, was hier alles auf die Beine gestellt wurde. Das Areal ist übersichtlich aber sehr gepflegt, der Wegzoll von 2 € für einen Erwachsenen zum Eintritt für das Fest günstig, ebenso wie die Preise für Getränke und Essen. Es gab ein Dutzend Schausteller und Marktbuden, wo es teils auch Ware mit mittelalterlichem Bezug zu erwerben gab. Eine kleine Band spielte mittelalterliche Musik, gefolgt von einem Intermezzo aus Dudelsäcken und später Jagdhornbläsern samt Erklärung des gespielten Stücks ("Fuchs tot", "Hirsch tot", etc.). Bei tollem Wetter haben wir einen schönen Mittag hier erlebt. Leider gibt es einen Abzug bei meiner Bewertung, denn: -die Organisation war leider mangelhaft, ein Anschlag am Eingang besagte bei unserer Ankunft, das um 14:30h eine Vorführung des Schwertkampfs stattfindet. Als wir uns zeitig an den Weg stellten um den Einzug der Ritter zu verfolgen, war die Zeit auf 16:00h geändert worden. Nach einem Abstecher beim Axtwerfen war die Zeit dann auf 15:30h vorverlegt worden. -wir fanden leider keinen Sitzplatz für 2 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder. Es waren rund 20 Bierzeltgarnituren plus Bänke aufgestellt worden, teils ohne Ordnung mitten auf dem Platz. Hätte man dies ordentlich gemacht wäre noch Platz für weitere 20 Tische gewesen, die auch besetzt worden wären, denn viele der Gäste nutzten die Tische nicht zum Speisen, sondern zum Plausch, so daß die Frequenz des Wechsels sehr gering war. Wir kommen gerne erneut hierher, erhoffen uns aber eine bessere Organisation und vor allem mehr Sitzgelegenheiten für die Gäste, die etwas zu sich nehmen möchten!

Le 5 stelle, le do' per premiare il grande lavoro che ha fatto e che continua a fare l'associazione di volontari che gestisce il castello. Bravi!!!! Costruito nel 1150, distrutto e ricostruito nel 1190, è diventato uno dei 7 castelli dove veniva amministrata la regione. Qui si sono svolti anche processi a presunte streghe Fino al XVII secolo ha mantenuto la sua importanza, poi, gravemente danneggiato, è stato abbandonato ed è diventato una cava di materiali per gli abitanti locali. Nei tempi attuali, una associazione di volontari, lo sta restaurando e lo ha aperto alle visite e lo mette a disposizione per eventi. Del castello restano la particolare torre principale ( costruita in 3 piani sovrapposti..), alcune torri e parte delle mura e degli edifici al servizio del castello. Si visita gratuitamente. C'è anche un museo sulle streghe e si possono leggere informazioni sulla singole parti del castello con i QC. Attualmente è chiuso per le disposizioni legate alla pandemia e dovrebbe riaprire per Pasqua 2022.

Die Grimburg sollte unbedingt ein Etappenziel der Wanderroute Tafeltour Wadrill sein. Okay, somit werden aus 11,2km plötzlich 16km, aber es lohnt sich. Die Grimburg hat eine bewegte Vergangenheit und wurde seit 1978 wieder sehenswert restauriert. Neuerdings verfügt die Grimburg auch über einen Kiosk und Toilettenanlage, die zwar nur nachmittags geöffnet sind, aber der gute Wille ist lobenswert. Sollte der Kiosk und die Toilette nicht geöffnet sein, ist der Grimburger Hof nur 400m entfernt und dort kann man Essen und Trinken wie es beliebt. Die Anlage der Grimburg liegt so toll in einem großen Waldgebiet und es lohnt sich ein Aufstieg auf den Burgfried. Unglaublich aber wahr der Eintritt ist frei! Es existiert auch die Möglichkeit mit dem Fahrrad oder einem Auto hochzufahren, wegen der begrenzten Parkplatzfläche sollten dies aber nur Senioren oder Personen mit Handicap tun. Wandern ist eh die beste Alternative, da das Naturerlebnis an erster Stelle steht. Ebenso neu ist die Tatsache dass man einen Turm als Event Location mieten kann. Ausgerüstet mit einer kleinen Küche und einem Bettenlager für bis zu 24 Personen, Strom und Wasser dient dieser Teil der Grimburg als Grillplatz für rustikale Feste. So ist hier viel Platz für jedermann und jede...
