The castle itself is small and not open for visitors bit the surroundings is amazing! A lot of nature, nice forest which is sorry beautiful during the autumn. There is also coffee shop nearby and ski resort.

In bad condition and could be seen only from outside. Worth to visit only if you are riding through bicycle Trail of the Eagle Nests.

Ruins of the castle which is embedded in the stone. Quite an impressive view. Unfortunately, you cannot go inside as it's permanently closed. If it was renovated as the Bobolice castle, it would be an amazing attraction. Fingers crossed ?!

Very nice place with good infrastructure. There is a parking, toilets and nice cafe with good sausages and pancakes. There are many nice paths nearby through the forest.

Sigmaringen Castle

Sigmaringen Castle was first mentioned in the year 1077 in the chronicles of Petershausen monastery. The oldest parts of the castle are concealed beneath the alterations made during the 17th and the 19th centuries. The secret of the earliest settlement built on this defendable rock will never be fully revealed: large-scale excavation work would be necessary, which the extensive land development renders impossible. Judging from the many Roman remains unearthed in the area around Sigmaringen, the 12th century keep known as the 'Roman Tower' could be traced back to a Roman predecessor.

The castle remains that have been preserved (gate, great hall and keep) date back to the Staufer period around 1200. The castle remains were integrated into subsequent buildings. The foundations of the castle buildings are to a large extent identical to the surrounding castle wall.

These remains give us a good idea of how the castle might have looked during the 12th century.
