Schloss Ortenberg, Medieval castle in Ortenberg, Germany.
The stone castle stands atop a hill between the Kinzig river valley and Black Forest hills, featuring defensive towers and fortified walls.
Dating from medieval times, Schloss Ortenberg served as a strategic fortress controlling access to the Kinzig Valley and Rhine Plain routes.
The castle now functions as a youth hostel while maintaining its status as a protected cultural monument, representing regional architectural heritage.
Visitors can access the castle grounds daily until 6 PM, excluding the youth hostel area, and explore multiple hiking trails around the structure.
The castle's position at 290 meters elevation provides views across three distinct landscapes: Black Forest mountains, Ortenau vineyards, and Rhine plains.
