Ruine Hohenstoffeln

The Hohenstoffeln ruins stand on elevated ground near Hilzingen, with remaining foundation walls partially hidden beneath vegetation throughout the seasons.

The medieval fortress met its destruction during the extensive military campaigns of the Thirty Years' War, resulting in the current state of the structure.

The ruins form part of the Hegau region's collection of defensive structures, representing the medieval system of territorial control in Baden-Württemberg.

Visitors need to follow unmarked paths through the surrounding woodland to reach the site, as directional signs remain limited throughout the area.

The foundation walls offer viewing points toward other castles in the Hegau region, including Hohentwiel and Hohenhewen fortifications.
