View of Hohengeroldseck Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The path from the foot of the castle to the barrier is quite steep, so attention is required here. Mounts for wheels are mounted in the castle. From the castle you have a gigantic view on all sides.

Nice tour over the Schönberg. The only drawback is that you have to drive on the country road. Otherwise super developed bike path to Seelbach. Along the duck path to the tulip blossom in the city park in Lahr. Obligatory visit to the ice cream parlor and via Friesenheim, Oberschopfheim and Zunsweier back to Biberach

The climb isn't bad, but the surrounding landscapes are simply breathtakingly beautiful; and to the left, high on the mountain, looms the Ganerbenburg Hohengeroldseck. The huge flag of the von der Leyen family, who still owns the ruins …
