Katzenstein Castle is a bit hidden because it was not built on a hill but more on a hillside. A magnificent sight captivates the visitor as soon as he reaches the place Katzenstein with its castle.

The castle still contains significant parts, but some buildings were reconstructed in the 1960s. You reach the castle via a large spacious Wirtshaftshof, which was separated from the main castle by a moat.

The gate is located in the so-called new castle, through which one enters the courtyard. He is surrounded by fortified walls and the new castle. An intermediate wall separates the former Hohenstaufen castle from the "newer castle". After a passage in this intermediate wall you are in front of the former Palas. Its upper floor was reconstructed in the 1960s. Around the middle of this second courtyard, remains of the wall from the 11th century were uncovered.

Here is now the entrance to the keep, with still preserved fireplace and the new castle with the important castle chapel.

Kiosk at Lake Härtsfeld

Highlight • Cafe

The reopening of the gastronomy at Härtsfeldsee was delayed due to Corona and was put into operation today with a festival. The gastronomy should now be open all year round!

Nature and wildlife at Härtsfeldsee

Highlight • Lake

The loop around the lake is not very far, so it is absolutely feasible even for smaller children. There is also a playground for the little ones.

Katzenstein Station (Härtsfeld Museum Railway)

Highlight • Monument

The train stop is part of the project of the Bahnfreunde Museumbahn Härtsfeld - Schättere. As learned from previous discussions, the route is to be continued as far as Dischingen. Of course, that depends on how the funds flow through the EU.
