Spontaneous visit and ascent to the castle by bike in the cold, rain and wind. When we arrived at the top, we were welcomed by an extremely pleased gentleman from the castle association, who offered us a short tour, which we (five of us) gladly accepted. The gentleman's joy and enthusiasm spread directly to us - we were spontaneously impressed! When we were then offered wine and Italian cherries, we were smitten! Thank you again!!

We were there for the castle festival and took the opportunity to visit the castle/tower. It's sporty going up to the tower and the steps are very narrow, more comparable to a ladder (backwards is the safest way down again). The castle is partly privately inhabited. What can be visited when no staff is on site is unknown. Used the car park at the foot of the castle and climbed the steep hiking trail for 15 minutes. The castle complex is not always open.

Very cool castle! Woman at the front was very friendly despite my party’s poor German-speaking ability. Detailed historical information available regarding the castle and the Krautheim family. Amazing view from the top- but be warned, steps to the top are somewhat treacherous.

Unfortunately, we couldn't go into the castle, it's not possible due to a lack of staff, but it could be looked after a little better, the facility looks a bit neglected. The view from the top is worth it!

Beautiful well-preserved facility, partially renovated. With castle museum, closed for me. Kernburg privately inhabited. Access therefore restricted. There are hardly any remains of the outer bailey, as it is now used as a retirement home. The town itself was protected by a town wall. Parts of it are connected to the burg. Parking at the Johanniter Museum or in front of the church.
