Things to do in Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg: The Best Ancient Ruins

January 24, 2022 Brandee Mangan

Fairytale villages, thermal baths, casinos and pine and birch-blanketed mountains beckon travelers to southwestern Germany's Black Forest. Scenic drives and train trips showcase the best of the area. Skiing, hiking, mountain climbing, boating and ice-skating are popular activities. Baden-Baden's Roman-Irish baths, 19th-century performance hall, casino and fresco-adorned Pump Room are much visited. Gothic masterpiece Freiburg Cathedral and its famous Boys' Choir also draw visitors.

Hohenbaden Old Castle

Reviewed By Steveage - Rexburg, United States

The upper castle was built by the by Margrave Hermann II around the year 1100. Under Margrave Bernhard I of Baden (1372-1431) was the Gothic lower castle, which was extended by Margrave James I (1431-1453). It's a little walk from the parking lot, it's a slight uphill, but literally 5 minutes and you're in the castle. When we were there, no one else was, 8:00 PM on a Thursday evening. The restaurant at the base of the castle had people in it. We loved roaming around and imagining how it must have been in medieval times. Keep wandering too, you can go all the way to the top tower with unbelievably gorgeous views. This place was free and it was unforgettable. Lots of scaffolding and reconstruction work was happening when we were there in late June of 2019.

A beautiful old castle and its ruins surrounded by the black forest, it is truly a sight. The hike isn't that hard, and is totally worth the effort. On top you can just enjoy the view and the dramatic sky

Burgruine Keppenbach

Die Burgruine Keppenbach dient als tolles Ausflugsziel für ein Picknick oder als Rastplatz für eine Wanderung inmitten des Waldes. Die Ruine ist nach einem etwa 20-minütigen gemütlichen Fußmarsch vom Sägplatz in Freiamt (beim Rathaus) durch den Wald zu erreichen.
