Burg Hohenbeilstein, Medieval castle in Beilstein, Germany
The Hohenbeilstein Castle stands on a hilltop with its pentagonal tower rising 23 meters above the Bottwartal valley in Baden-Württemberg.
Built around 1080 during the Hohenstaufen dynasty, the castle served as a central fortress that influenced the development of Beilstein town through medieval times.
The castle grounds include a falconry center where birds of prey perform flight demonstrations, connecting visitors with traditional German hunting practices.
Visitors can reach the castle through multiple hiking trails, with the basic loop covering 4.22 kilometers and taking approximately one hour and thirteen minutes.
The pentagonal tower known as Langhans provides views across the Bottwartal region while housing both a restaurant and observation platform.
