Burg Hohenfels, Medieval castle in Sipplingen, Germany

The stone fortress stands at 545 meters above sea level in the Beutelfels Nature Reserve, featuring defensive walls and a central tower.

The castle first appeared in records in 1292 as Neuhohenfels, belonging to the lords of Hohenfels until their lineage ended in 1352.

The Teutonic Order managed the castle from 1506 to 1806, marking three centuries of religious and administrative influence in the region.

Visitors can reach the castle through a steep footpath starting from the Weiße Grube mine in Langental valley.

The castle transformed from a medieval stronghold to a boarding school until 2017, and now functions as a convention center.
