Grillenburg castle ruins (HWN 208)

Highlight • Castle

The size of the ruins only hints at their former importance.
First mentioned in writing in 1217, they have been in disrepair since the beginning of the 17th century.

Up to the Grillenberg castle ruins. Definitely worth it. Lots of narrow paths around the castle. Beautiful view of the town from above.

January 4, 2025,Grillenberg: HWN 208 Burgruine Grillenberg

Unspectacular but surprisingly large castle ruins (approx. 200x70m) with plenty of bricks from the 14th century. Beautiful view of the valley, especially in winter, on the descent on the path directly along the property.

Unfortunately, nothing is being done to preserve the ruined castle, but the miniature version in an older gentleman's front yard is simply great

Around the corner from the start there is a model of the castle, the model is worth a visit

I absolutely cannot recommend the descent that we took from the castle, the path ended at some point in nowhere and since we didn't want to go back we had to cross-country a bit ... otherwise the gradient profile is probably deceptive, it is much steeper uphill than that Profile suggests
