Reussenstein Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Neidlingen, Germany.
The stone remains of Reussenstein Castle stand at 760 meters above sea level, overlooking the Neidlingen valley from the northern edge of Swabian Alb.
Built in 1270 by the Dukes of Teck, the castle changed ownership eleven times within fifty years before becoming property of the Counts of Helfenstein in 1441.
The castle structure demonstrates medieval German military architecture with its strategic position controlling the sole passage into the Swabian Alb from Neidlingen valley.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through multiple marked hiking trails, including the Valley View loop spanning 6.4 kilometers from Neidlingen.
The last lynx in Germany was recorded at Reussenstein Castle in 1846, marking a significant moment in German natural history.
