I went there again to bring back memories of my youth. The castle is in the middle of the Bergisches Land. Everything is well kept and very clean. It takes at least 2-3 hours to visit the inside.There is so much to see. So many rooms and most interesting the armory on display. The view ist just amazing. Looking down to the village is just brilliant. There are some good restaurants too. If you like cakes, that is the place to be.
Super interesting, and the chairlift was an added bonus. Didn't have time inside as we arrived late in the day. But really enjoyed our wander around. Some shops, and places to eat. Park on the lower grounds to take the lift up, and watch out for the goats on the way up!!
This is a lovely old castle to explore. Take the chairlift up and go for a nice walk down Plenty of cafés to chose from. Reasonably priced
I went here on a recent weekend visit to Germany. The place wasn't too busy as we arrived at about 2pm. It did get much busier afterwards though.There are lots of shops to browse both inside and out, from the really expensive to the knick knack type place. The inside is beautiful- the walls are painted intricately and full of little stalls.Outside there are lots of places to get Gluwein and traditional German dishes such as currywurst.One of the highlights was the cable car down the hill where we met Father Christmas :-)It's a great day out and very 'German'.
Easy to access by local bus, The Castle offers great views as well as several eateries both on site as well as the village below.
Schloss Burg -the ventricle of the Bergisch Land is one of the largest restored castles in West Germany. Built by the Count of Berg, it was for centuries the center of the Bergische Land and place exciting history and stories. The Bergische Museum Schloss Burg gives an insight into the history and culture of the Middle Ages, life at the castle through the centuries, popular culture, trade and commerce in the Bergische Land.
Great place with great view! Had a lot of fun. It was a sunny summer day and thought it was the perfect day to visit.
This is a beautiful old castle and the location -in the middle of the hills- is very pleasant and relaxing. It felt like we were walking on a film set for a movie that took place in the Middle Ages.We were also surprised about the little museum inside the castle: it tells the history of the area back in Medieval Times and might be interesting for (older) children as well: there is an exciting collection of medieval armour, axes, swords and old maps.Back outside, there a few nice bars and restaurants, overlooking the hills.
Lots of fun, park by the ground station for the chairlift and catch a ride up the steep hill to the top where the castle towers over the town. Tour of the castle is interesting. There are several beautiful cafes around the castle, worth a visit. There is a path if you want to walk up to the castle
Didn't get to go inside the museum and castle but having the ability to walk the grounds was lovely. Views are amazing, displays were brilliant and was a whole good few hours here.
