The ruins of Forchtenberg Castle stand majestically above the old town, offering one of the most beautiful views of the Jagst Valley. 🏰🌄 Built in the 13th century, it was once the seat of the Lords of Hohenlohe and later of the Württemberg bailiffs. Today, only parts of the curtain wall, the keep, and the foundations of the once mighty complex remain – surrounded by ancient trees and Virginia creeper. A climb to the ruins is well worth it: Panoramic views of the town, river, and rolling hills Information panels about the history of the castle and its inhabitants Quiet spots for lingering, dreaming, and reflecting

A circular walk starts from Forchtenberg, a beautiful medieval town in the Hohenlohe district, where you first explore the old town and encounter places from Sophie Scholl's childhood, then you walk past the Forchtenberg castle ruins, through the forest along the Kupfer back to the town. Always follow the sign of the castle. A beautiful circuit of about 11 km.

Here at the "Schwarzen Steg" there is a boundary stone from 1829. In addition to the year, it bears the letters "F" (Forchtenberg) and "HO" (probably Hohenlohe rule).
