The detour to the castle ruins is definitely worth it. The former defensive structure is located at an altitude of 630 meters, and from here you have a great view of the five valleys in which the city has spread out.

The castle was built around 1500 by Knight Hans von Rechberg. For almost three centuries, the castle complex was neglected, and excavations and restoration only began in 1957. Thanks to the committed efforts of dedicated citizens, the complex is very well preserved.

The restaurant "Bergstüble" is now closed. However, you can enjoy your break on the thick castle walls with a magnificent view of Schramberg.

Forest trail to Hohenschramberg Castle ruins

Highlight • Trail

A beautiful sea of rocks. Route not overcrowded. Beautiful narrow, idyllic hiking trails. Numerous hiking variations, e.g. Hohenschramberg ruins or direction Lauterbach, Sulzbach. The Moosmann Cave is also very close to the Elisabethen Felsen.

View of Lauterbach from the Kreuzfelsen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Many of these rocks are now overgrown, but not this one. So the few extra meters are worth it.

May 31, 2025,Lauterbach-Panoramablick – Ruine Hohenschramberg Runde von Lauterbach

For me, today was an absolutely top-notch tour, and I rated it 5 stars without even thinking about it.

That's how I imagine an excellent day of hiking.

A wealth of gorgeous nature trails and paths, magnificent seas of rock, and many other fantastic highlights.

The complete package was simply fantastic.

Actually a nice tour with mostly small paths, but you will be bothered about 2/3 of the way by street noise.

I'd been planning this for a while and finally walked it.

Parking was a bit of a problem on site; the bus station was full. Nearby parking spaces are subject to a fee and require a parking time of between 2 and 4 hours. This is definitely a problem for me, as a leisurely hiker.

I was out and about in Lauterbach today with my sister and my brother. Sunshine and a bright blue sky accompanied us for most of the route, only towards the end it got a little overcast.
We parked shortly after leaving Schramberg, directly at the small hiking car park on the road towards Lauterbach.
Right at the beginning we crossed …

Great hike! Not too long and still challenging, especially on the Kreuzfelsen and Felsenmeer. Definitely make a detour to the Moosmannshöhle for children. That's where the imagination …
