We drove by here while traveling on the Neckar River looking at all the castles along the way. We happened to get here right when the bird show was starting so we paid the extra money and watched the show. It was great! Birds from all over the world and the show was entertaining and lasted right around and hour. It is something you should see while in this area. I highly recommend it!
Sehenwert sind Burg und Greifvogelschau. Das Restaurant mit Terasse und wunderbarem Weitblick serviert auch mal in historischem Outfit. Die Speisekarte ist umfangreich mit gut bürgerlichem Angebot. Der Braten war lecker, die Sauce kräftig, gut gewürzt und geschmackvoll. Trotz großem Andrang kam das Essen schnell, der Service war gut und sehr freundlich. Ein gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhälnis und nicht auf Touristennepp angelegt. Auch wer sich nicht für Vögel interessiert sollte einen Besuch einplanen.
È stata organizzata dalla società come complemento alla partecipazione di una Open House. Piacevole serata allietata da musici e giocolieri con cena tipica medievale
Burg Guttenberg is very pleasant and quiet, due to it's location. The castle museum is very quaint and full of interesting objects, however all information about the objects is in German; which was ok for me, being able to read German quite well, but my friend doesn't, which could cause a problem for some people. The view from the top of the tower was magificent. The bird show was my favourite part of the afternoon. We were presented with eagles, owls and vultures, which flew over our heads and walked down the aisles. The man talking about the birds spoke German and English, even though we were the only English people there and was very informative. The only bad point was horrible children sat in front of us, but you can't win them all! A delicious coffee was enjoyed at the restaurant after the show, but no cake unfortunately. The bird sanctuary was also very interesting, with a large selection of birds of prey. We were there just in time to watch the birds being fed, but the gift shop was closed at 16.50, which was disappointing, but a very good afternoon all in all.
We went there with our 5-year old while we were touring Baden-Wurttemberg and staying with our German friends who told us about this castle and the bird sanctuary in the first place. (Otherwise I doubt that we would ever come across it.) It is a very scenic drive getting to this place. I am sure the entire castle is beautiful to see but we were very short with time so we opted for the bird "show" only. There were several kinds of birds of prey and there was lots of talk about their habits, feeding, breeding etc but all of it was in German. The guide made an effort to share a little bit in English but these were really only a couple of sentences so we didn't really learn anything about the birds. (Except that one of the, eagles I think, weigh at cc 2 kilos only.) There was a lot flying just over our heads and I was even hit slightly by an eagle swooshing - quite impressive, we could see the beauty of these animals. There was a family with two kids sitting behind us and the younger (around 3 years old) was actually not enjoying the show at all and kept hiding in his mum's arms. I was imagining my sister how much she would not like this so if you are not into birds just don't do it. Otherwise, it is an interesting 1 hour, especially if you can speak German.
Als Ausflugsziel einer Tagestour mit dem Motorrad angesteuert, präsentiert sich die Burg Guttenberg als sehr unterhaltsam. Natürlich ist die Flugvorführung der Falknerei das absolute Highlight: spannend und doch informativ präsentieren die Falkner ihr Schützlinge. Und vor bzw. nach der Vorführung? Unbedingt die Zwingeranlagen mit einer Vielzahl verschiedener Greifvögel anschauen. Schließlich wartet im Innern der schön erhaltenen/gestaltenen Burg auch noch eine Ausstellung des mittelalterlichen Ritterlebens, die sehr umfangreich und mit Liebe zu Details durch den Ritteralltag führt. Zwischendurch kann man sich gut in der angegliederten Burgschenke stärken: Gut-bürgerliche Küche zu moderaten Preisen. Die Burg Guttenberg unterhält eine eigenen Website, auf der man viele zusätzliche Aktionen, wie Rittermahle, spezielle Veranstaltungen und besonders Führungen und Waldprojekte für Kindergruppen und Schulklassen u.v.m. findet.
Bird show (but only in German), everything about becoming knights etc. Interesting exhibit.I didn't watch the show but the museum was well presented. Had to buy an English booklet to read the despriptions written on the walls.On their website, they say they have hay-bed hotel.I wanted to try staying there, but we decided to move on to the next town along the Burgenstrasse. I think the kids would love it.
Die Greifvogelwarte mit Vorführung ist interessant. Der Aufzuchtbereich ist größer als erwartet. Als Naturfreund hat mir gefallen, dass die Natur (hier die Greifvogelwelt) nicht verharmlost und idealisiert wurde, sondern in vielen Facetten dargestellt wurde.
Burg Guttenberg proved again to be worth a trip. To get there you drive along the Neckar valley, either coming from Heidelberg or Heilbronn, and the drive is very scenic with many castles and beautiful villages and towns along the way, such as Bad Wimpfen.Being in a bit of a rush, we decided to focus on the spectacular and unique, so we only went to see the bird show, which was amazing, as always.
Este castelo abriga um centro muito conceituado de aves de rapina e a determinadas horas é feito um show muito legal com elas. Vale a pena!
