Highly recommend! The climb to the takes about 30 minutes via convenient unpaved sloped. (Accessible with a stroller / wheelchair) On the way there some knight figures with explanations in German. From the there is a great over the city. In the center of the there is a high (seems over 40 meters) intact tower that you can climb by lit wooden stair. This might be scary if you are afraid of heights. From the top there is an even better view. After driving from Freiburg on a research trip I was driving past Waldkirch and decided to stop and look around. Beautiful little town and easy to find your way around. I saw there were ruins nearby but had a bit of trouble finding the way to it as I couldn’t find any signage. Eventually I found the road and i trekked up the quaint residential road to my destination. It was a good little hike in the woods as well. Once at the ruins (not a huge at all) I enjoyed the views of the village below. Apparently, I arrived on a day I couldn’t go up into the tower. I think they said it was closed on that day. Despite that, I still had a great view. Fun little hike, nice at the end. The tower was closed so we couldn't go in unfortunately. You can reach the top of the tower, beautiful landsight The was a nice walk up from the town, through a forest area. Along the way you are greeted with several knights with informational plaques. These are in German only, but if you can read the language, you can test your knowledge when you stand before the castle! My personal favourite was the one about how much the armor of the knights cost, in the currency of cows. The itself is free. It's a ruin, and there are a few informational posts, mainly at the entrance. The over Waldkirch was absolutely stunning. We visited on a warm day at the end of summer (25°C+), and therefore the amount of small lizards running around highly outnumbered the amount of other visitors we came across (5 or 6 people). I wish there was a place to donate for maintenance, because it deserves to be seen by a larger crowd. Would absolutely recommend to visit! This offers a great of Freiburg. If you do some hiking around, come here and take a rest at the top. Check also my youtube channel for drone footage of places i travelled. Droneald. Kastelburg ruïne absolute worth visiting. Nice vieuw of the city/village, and really nice to walk the stairsof the old tower. The main sightseeing in city. Beautiful view. Silence and magic!
