Hornberg Castle

A truly underrated castle in the region. If you’re passing by and have the time, give yourself minimum and hour to explore. The castle is €7 to access and you need to buy a token per person at the gift shop. The bonus about this castle is you’re able to explore and see every inch. There are no blocked off rooms (except for some of the ancient artifacts behind a cage. You can walk all the way to the top of the tallest peak by the spiral staircase to get an amazing view of the land. The museum is extremely small and is consists of only two rooms and mainly showcases mid-evil weaponry and armor. The gift shop is lovely and the staff are very friendly. They have a fairly nice selection of wine and souvenirs. I don’t get a chance to stay at the hotel or eat at the restaurant but I’m assuming they are excellent as well. A must see!

Overall, we had a nice experience, especially in the souvenir shop. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable ☺️

Amazing restaurant and hotel. The people are friendly, the history of the place is impressive, the food is top notch, the hotel room very clean and most of all the view is spectacular from the terrass. Everything 5/5. Please perfect for a warm summer evening.

After years of painstaking restoration most of the castle ruin is in impressive condition. Some of the towers and most of the rooms are accessible to visitors. Entry coins can be purchased at the shop on site. Very friendly and helpful personnel in the shop. The ruin was the home of Götz von Berlechingen, famously immortalised in Goethe's work. Defenitely worth a visit.

A must to visit place. The Castle is amazing. Its small but you can almost walk around it. Spectacular views. There are many other places around it to visit. Worth a visit 100%. P.S. You can also buy wine if its open...

It is a bit of a hyke from the train/S-bahn station, but the view is magnificent. The lady in the museum shop spoke enought english to get me a ticket. There is also a bio-diversity trail on the way to the castle, but that makes the hyke a bit harder. There is local wine in the museum shop.

As much as it pains me, since the service was excellent, I have to call this place avoidable on all counts. After two stays years apart, it's gone downhill. I'd call the rooms cramped if cute. View is beautiful but industrial, and the food was inconsistent, including some very good but some almost inedible. Some was just strange! All expensive.

Very nice castle. Very helpfull and nice staff. Good wine. Recomended.
