Hoheneck Castle, Medieval castle in Ipsheim, Germany.
The stone fortress stands at 327 meters elevation on the slopes of Franconian Heights, overlooking the valley of the Aisch river in Bavaria.
Established in 1132, Hoheneck Castle reflects the architectural evolution of Middle Franconia through its medieval structural elements and defensive positions.
The castle functions as an educational center managed by the Nuremberg City Youth Council, offering programs for children and youth work professionals.
Visitors can explore multiple hiking trails around the castle grounds, with a recommended 9-kilometer loop providing different viewpoints of the structure.
The castle represents the only fortress owned by the city of Nuremberg, while the more famous Nuremberg Castle belongs to the Free State of Bavaria.
