Visit the fortress to admire its mix of different architectural styles, including Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance.

Beautiful castle that has a great deal of history and consideration. I have visited about half a dozen castles in the UK but this by far exceeds them in its restoration quality as well as it's views. The information is in German and English, there are restaurants on site and they have materials in many languages for reading about the castle (although again only German and English in the exhibitions).

Fabulous mountain top situation. They keep improving the experience. The guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, easy to understand, spoke loudly. Amazing Castle history with the Martin Luther connection at the end.
