Best places: Historical landmarks in Schluchsee, Germany

👍👍 Visiting the Festungsruine castle was an extraordinary journey through time, even though the castle itself is 90% gone.

👍👍 Staufen is a quaint old village with many beautiful buildings and a walk up to the castle is the best way to view it.

👍 Very nice preserved old ruin that you can walk up to fairly easily if you have average mobility. Good views on clear days. You can also choose to go up the sloping ramp or up the steps. We went up one way then down the other. After all this excercise you can treat yourself to a well earned coffee an...

👍👍 If you are looking for joy of discovery in your Black Forest hiking, then it's a good place to visit. You can park on the mountain road, and then descend and ascend to arrive at the ruined fort. Must have been quite a vantage point in its days of glory.
