It's not the biggest nor the most beautiful castle but man is it worth seeing! You pay €2 to get in and no pets are allowed. It's a little hard to find and you do have to do some climbing stairs. There's another way to get up there that's stroller friendly but we couldn't find it. Definitely enjoy this and then head into town to try the wine!
One of the most beautiful castle we had visited so far, beautifully maintained, partly restored and will soon get an additional construction in the same "style" with stories and museumEntrance cost was 3 Euro, but worth it!
Die Burgruine ist absolut sehenswert und den Eintritt allemal wert. Alles ist bestens restauriert und gepflegt. Die Architekten sind für die behutsame gelungene Integration neuer Bauteile ausdrücklich zu loben. Also: unbedingt besuchen.
This castle is near the town where there is a farmers market every so often (I don't remember the frequency). We walked up to the castle and waited for the dusk and an American jazz band's concert to begin. It was so relaxing that evening ten 15 years ago that; I still remember just like yesterday. Germany is one of my favorite places to visit as I am Turkish and there is a little Turkey hidden in Germany that I really like. Turkish and German food on alternate days, concerts, parties with nice smiley German faces around is something that I won't give up. I will go again and again to Germany no matter what. I just love socializing with them. Than I go to Turkey from Germany after a few days of stop over, hey, what do you know, there is a little Germany on the several Mediterranean towns one of which is Antalya but that is another show!!! Also, if you happen to visit this part (Rhineland) of Germany around Christmas (I am not sure about the other parts), make sure that you have a German friend to take you to one of those open squares where there is food and the best of all, warm conversation and hot, spiced up vine. You won't know what's hit you -- take it easy with that vine you hear?!!! Good roaming...
Hardenburg was Amazing. We had no idea what to expect and the short hike up had me second guessing myself. But for €3 (euro) we felt like it was a "steal". The views were beautiful. The castle ruins went on "forever" and there was amazing architecture to be seen. And after quite the climb on modern stairs to the top of the lookout tower, there was a telescope with additional ruins across the valley to see (€,50 or €1 - it goes by the size of the coinage). Overall the burg was awesome and I believe it would be even better in the summer. There was also a place to eat on the same grounds although we did not eat, and some trails that could be hiked.
As the name says Burg Hardenburg is a ruin. But, it is one of the most impressive ruins we've visited. Located just outside the spa town of Bad Durkheim, this should be a must see for any castle enthusiast.Built in the early 1200's this castle continued to grow. Inside the visitors center they have a nice short movie showing the profession of the castle over the years. From there you are free to roam throughout this large castle. You can climb its many walls and let your imagination run wild thinking about what life would have been like living here. There is no tour so you can spend as much time as you want and you will have access to almost all the areas of the castle. This castle had a beautiful garden and a guest house with a dance hall. See if you can find the safe with the sliding stone door and climb from the highest point in the Burgfried down a long stairway to the lower part of the castle. We enjoy castles and this one is a big one so we spent 2-3 hours walking its grounds but since there isn't a guide the time you spend is really up to you.When in Bad Durkheim, take the time to visit this great castle ruin.
Alles sehr gut restauriert und wird sehr gut gepflegt.Man kann sich hier sehr gut vorstellen wie früher die Rittersleut gelebt haben.Auch für Kinder sehr viel zu entdecken.
Даже если в течение недели каждый день обозревать замок в той или иной степени сохранности, всё равно найдётся еще один, способный удивить.Территория развалин немаленькая, есть где побродить. Лучше это делать рано утром или попозже к вечеру. Всё-таки руины больше "рассказывают" о себе, когда осматриваешь их "наедине", без собратьев-туристов вокруг.Замечательно место для романтиков и любителей едва уцелевшей древности.И замечательные виды на городок рядом!
Waren schon 2x da. Unsere Kids (5+7) waren beide begeistert. Der eine Angestellte der an diesem Tag da war erklärte uns immer wieder dies und das und unterhielt sich auch ganz nett mit den Kinder. Eintritt absolut ok, definitiv ein Besuch wert !
heerlijk glaasje drinken vlakbij de burcht; met een gastenkaart (min 3d boeken) heb je gratis openbaar vervoer (bus) erheen vanuit Bad Durkheim
