There are certainly more beautiful castles in Germany but this one is also worth a visit if you are a castle fan. The price is fairly alright. As a student I paid 5 euros for combo ticket for the lift right and the castle entry. The main entrance is located on the main street

Beautiful hill castle located in Altena, surprised to know that it has world's first youth hostel within the castle (according to wiki).

A wonderful place for an all day family outing. Those who like to learn the history of a place in Germany can visit this great historical masterpiece. There is a good parking lot and one can eat in the nearby restaurant.

The castle is amazing. Wish I'd have known about the elevator from town earlier as driving up to the castle and back down is a bit of a challenge. The tour is well worth the money. However we did not find anyone there who spoke English and unfortunately the restaurant was closed for renovations.

Pretty cool place to have a walk and to enjoy the sunshine. There is a museum included which appears to be a interesting spot if the weather is not that good. Free parking at the foot of the hill, than ~10 minutes to walk upwards. Amazing view from above, in total : recommendation!
