Here you have a fantastic view over all the trees - 360 degrees over the Odenwald and as far as Mannheim/Ludwigshafen. The tower itself is a gem, and climbing it is an adventure. ;)

Originally a Celtic refuge, then the Romans arrived, and in the 12th century, a castle was built. It came into the possession of the Electorate of the Palatinate around 1300 and was then intended as a refuge for the ruler and his entourage from Heidelberg in case of emergency. The people of Dilsberger were granted town-like rights and, in return, were obliged to provide accommodations in case of emergency. With the dissolution of the Electorate of the Palatinate in 1803, the castle came into the possession of the state of Baden. In 1822, the castle was approved for demolition. Detailed information can be found here: https://www.dilsberg.de/gemeinde/geschichte-dilsberg/ The remains of the castle can be visited during the summer months for a small fee.

Was open today and a stunning view. But even if I'm not afraid of heights... that's really high and wobbles quite a bit. Despite almost zero wind and I alone up there. But the view... WOW! 👍

The Dilsberg Castle Fortress is known for its fantastic panoramic view of the Neckar Valley and the Odenwald. Another highlight of the castle festivals is a bit lower - in the accessible underground well tunnel. Should be reopened from March 26th, 2021

The semicircular shield wall and the towering keep in the main castle are characteristic of the castle festivals. They illustrate their function as a weir system. From the Palas, the residential building, only the basement has been preserved, which was used in a variety of ways.

The Teltschikturm is a publicly accessible lookout tower and offers a wonderful view of the Odenwald if the many steps don't bother you. The tower race takes place here once a year, then the volunteers from Wilhelmsfeld and surrounding communities compete first, after which everyone can try to break the fastest time in the ascent.

The castle Dilsberg is at the same time a well-preserved medieval village. The completely preserved wall is used well, many houses integrate them. A part is used as a youth hostel. The chocolate factory offers dangerously good pies!
