Burg Häringstein, Medieval castle ruins in Ebingen, Germany
The castle remains stand on a hilltop position at 953 meters elevation, overlooking the Schmiecha valley and providing views toward the Swiss Alps.
The castle construction began around 1100 by either the Lords of Ebingen or the Lords of Häringstein, featuring a kidney-shaped central fortress with double wall-trench system.
The site includes a 24-meter observation tower built in 1899, which has become the primary symbol of Ebingen and its medieval heritage.
Visitors can reach the castle grounds through a walking path from the Waldheim Ebingen recreational area, with the observation platform located at 972 meters above sea level.
Below the castle tower lies the Hexenküche cave, adding a geological element to the historical fortification structure.
