Burg Haibach

Burg Haibach is a medieval fortified complex in Lower Bavaria, with remaining walls situated on elevated terrain that overlooks the surrounding valley. The preserved foundations and partial structures still mark the outline of the former defensive installation.

The fortress was built during the Middle Ages to command trade routes and protect the holdings of a local noble family. Over time, military developments rendered it obsolete and the structure gradually deteriorated.

The ruins show how local nobility once defended their lands through fortified buildings that dominated the landscape. Walking around, visitors can see the layout and understand the defensive thinking of medieval times.

The site can be reached from Haibach village by following marked hiking paths, with parking available near the town center. Visitors should be prepared for uneven ground and keep clear of any unsafe wall sections.

The ruins display clear differences in construction methods between early and late medieval periods, visible in the varied brickwork and stonework. These details allow visitors to observe actual building techniques from different eras at the same site.
