A beautiful castle with a rich history. Unbelievable views of the surrounding landscape (you can see Strasbourg in the distance) while drinking a nice local produced wine on the castle terrace. Superb.

Excellent service, excellent views, excellent Flammenkuchen, excellent reisling & Rose. All after a superb walk up through sun drenched rolling vineyards

Fantastic view! And very good local wine. We choose salad with salmon. Excelen choice. But you should try local speciality - flammenkuchen!

We enjoyed a nice meal, but when it's just opened at around noon, it's a long wait in the self-service queue to order food/drinks. Beautiful views of Germany and Switzerland!

The Staufenberg Castle was the highlight of out trip to the black-forest region! It's a beautiful castle on a hill. The view is simple to die for! We drove right up to the castle parking and then walked up to their terrace cafe/ restaurant. To sip cool wine on a hot sunny day and watch the sun go down was an amazing experience. We tried couple of different flammkuchen and risotto. All of which we delicious. This is definitely a place we will go back to!

Trencín Castle

Trenčín Castle is relatively large renovated castle, towering on a steep limestone cliff directly above the city of Trenčín. It is a dominant feature not only of Trenčín, but also of the entire Považie region. The castle is a national monument.

History of the castle cliff dates back to the Roman Empire, what is proved by the inscription on the castle cliff proclaiming the victory of Roman legion against Germans in the year 179.

Today’s castle was probably built on the hill-fort. The first proven building on the hill was the Great Moravian rotunda from the 9th century and later there was a stone residential tower, which served to protect the Kingdom of Hungary and the western border. In the late 13th century the castle became a property of Palatine Matúš Csák, who became Mr. of Váh and Tatras.

Matúš Csák of Trenčín built a tower, still known as Matthew’s, which is a dominant determinant of the whole building.
