Burg Eberbach, Medieval castle ruins in Eberbach, Germany.
The castle compound consists of three separate fortifications positioned 160 meters above the Neckar River, offering views across the valley.
The front castle construction began in the late 12th century, followed by the middle castle around 1200, and the rear castle in the second quarter of 1200s.
Archaeological excavations between 1908 and 1928 revealed substantial sections of the front and middle castles, leading to reconstruction efforts.
Visitors can reach the castle through a 20-minute walk from the woodland parking area on L524 or a 45-minute hike from Eberbach town center.
Mark Twain mentioned the castle ruins in his book 'A Tramp Abroad', connecting the location to a dragon legend.
