Burgruine Altsummerau, Castle ruin in Langnau, Germany
The remaining stone walls of Burgruine Altsummerau stand on a 500-meter-high hill, offering views of the Argen valley and surrounding forests.
The castle, first mentioned in 1152 as the seat of the Lords of Summerau, later transferred to the Bishops of Konstanz before its destruction between 1633 and 1660.
The preserved vault and tower foundations represent medieval defensive architecture of Baden-Württemberg, marking a period of noble and clerical control in the region.
Several hiking trails lead to the ruins through the woods, with a moderate 8-kilometer route starting from Laimnau via the Hängebrücke Badhütten suspension bridge.
The castle's remaining fortified tower contains a secured vault, while its elevated position provides a clear view of the camping area at Laimnau-Badhütten.
