Yburg, Medieval castle ruin in Kernen im Remstal, Germany.
Yburg is a castle ruin perched on a hilltop near Kernen im Remstal with surviving gates, vaulted passages, and two cellar chambers on its eastern side. The remains reveal the typical layout of a medieval fortification in this area.
The fortification dates from the 13th century and was built to serve as a lookout post monitoring the Rems Valley. Over time it was abandoned and gradually deteriorated into the ruins visible today.
The ruins reflect how medieval builders used stone and vaulting techniques to create strong fortifications. Walking through what remains shows the craftsmanship and engineering approach of that time period.
The ruins are accessible via marked hiking trails that connect to the Stettener Wine Trail with excellent views of surrounding vineyards. The path is clearly marked, making navigation straightforward for all visitors.
The cellar chambers still show original vaulted niches with their stone joints connecting directly to the outer walls. This detail reveals how precisely medieval craftspeople fitted stones together.
