Castle ruins fire the imagination and can be a real adventure not only for children. For families, they are therefore the perfect hiking destination. We have put together the most beautiful castle ruin hikes in southern Germany for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What many particularly appreciate when hiking, in addition to the peace and quiet and the experience of nature, is a great view. Especially beautiful vantage points are naturally medieval castles. Because back then, it was essential for knights and their entourage to have a good view of the surroundings. They had to recognize early on whether enemies were approaching. So it is no coincidence that many hiking routes<\/a> with a particularly great panorama lead past old castle ruins. We have collected a few particularly beautiful of these routes here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
