Staufen, Mountain summit in Hegau, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
The Staufen summit rises to 593 meters above sea level and stands as a volcanic formation in the Konstanz district of southern Baden-Württemberg.
The mountain summit featured a Roman watchtower before a medieval castle was constructed in the 12th century, with first written records dating from 1248.
The castle at Staufen remained an active settlement until 1607, representing the architectural and defensive practices of medieval German fortifications.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, where visitors can examine the remaining foundations of the former castle while observing the surrounding Hegau landscape.
Swedish troops during the Thirty Years' War demolished the castle structure, leaving behind archaeological evidence of military operations from that period.
