Burg Daun, Medieval castle in Daun, Germany
The stone fortification stands on a hill with defensive walls and towers overlooking the town of Daun in the Eifel mountains region.
Built during the 12th century, Burg Daun served as a strategic fortress for controlling trade routes through the Eifel region until its partial destruction.
The castle maintains its original medieval architecture elements, representing the military engineering and construction methods of German defensive structures.
Visitors can reach the castle by following the marked hiking trails from Daun's town center, with parking facilities available at the base.
The castle's position offers views over the volcanic landscapes of the Eifel region, where three crater lakes form natural landmarks.
