Burgruine, Castle ruin in Aub, Germany.
Reichelsburg stands on elevated ground near Aub, with remains of walls, towers, and fortified structures from the medieval period. The stone construction shows how such fortresses were built to oversee the valley and surrounding territories below.
The fortress was built in the medieval period as a strategic post to control trade routes in the region. Over the centuries it lost importance and was eventually abandoned, leaving only ruins today.
The ruins reveal how medieval builders designed defenses typical of this region, and you can see in the remaining walls how inhabitants protected their fortification from attacks.
The site sits on a hill outside town and is accessible by marked walking paths from Aub. Access is straightforward, though there are no visitor centers or extensive facilities on site.
From its elevated position you can see far into the valley, just as medieval sentries could have. This vantage point makes clear why this location was so vital for controlling the area.
