Burg Hohenfels, Medieval castle ruin in Hohenfels, Germany
The stone walls of Burg Hohenfels rise at 545 meters above sea level, featuring architectural elements from different construction periods of medieval Germany.
First documented in 1292, the castle served as the ancestral seat of the Neu-Hohenfels family until its transfer to the Teutonic Order in 1506.
The castle ruins stand as a testament to Bavaria's feudal period, representing the military and social structures of medieval German nobility.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a designated hiking path that connects to the main road, offering clear views of the surrounding landscape.
Archaeological excavations at the site have uncovered Roman coins dated to 340 AD, indicating human activity in the area long before the castle's construction.
