👍👍 Excellent castle ruin that is easily accessible by car or hiking. I showed up in the early afternoon and was the ONLY person there. There are fantastic views and you can see multiple other castles in the distance. Well worth the visit!

👍👍 The Castle Ruins in Zavelstein is a must see if you are in the Black Forest area. It's easy to reach, and there are many parking spaces within walking distance (I recommend parking at Sonnenhalde and walking through the town centre, taking the Fountain Trail). The castle looks much more imposing up...

👍👍 A very good and attractive place. You can even spend time with your kids on the park near it.

Commanding Baroque palace & gardens with lavish, fresco-lined interiors & a military history museum.

Museum of Ettlingen history & regional 20th-century art, plus concerts in a frescoed chapel.

👍 Nettes Schloss, nicht allzu groß mit Museum und Gastronomie. Der Schloßgarten ist eine grosse Wiese mit Bäumen und ein paar wenigen Ruinen.

😠 Doesn't worth the trouble... Nothing at all, only stairs. If you're interested in carspotting on the nearby B10, go. The view shows only the surrounding forest. If you expect real Castle ruins, you'll be disappointed... Doesn't worth the ratings given.

Mid-19th-century country villa, built for Ludwig I of Bavaria & containing period decorative arts.

😐 Met vrienden op vakantie langs geweest, de klim was interessanter dan de ruïne. Wel mooi uitzicht, aanrader om bij zonsondergang te gaan.

😠 Completely closed for renovation until 2023, no views until then!

👍👍 Wir haben die Ruine Blumenstein über den Rundwanderweg «Dachsweg» erreicht. Eine Außentreppe lässt sich die Ruine einfach erklimmen. Es bietet sich eine schöner Rundumblick, sehr empfehlenswert! Vor der Treppe gibt es eine Picknickbank samt Tisch, die aber beide aus der Zeit des Baujahres der Burg z...

👍👍 Hat ein mittelalterliche Ortskern mit Schloss. Ein Besuch im Schloss ist empfehlenswert. Kann auch verbunden werden mit dem Zuckerbäcker Museum und dem Bäckerei-Museum. Im Schlosshof ist eine Schmiede zu besichtigt. Im Schloss sind neben den Bügeleisen Auch 100 Werke des Karlsruher Malers Karl Hubbu...
