View of Hohentwiel Fortress and Vineyards

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Hohentwiel, an imposing volcanic cone in the Hegau. The ruins of the Hohentwiel fortress, which stands on the summit, are one of the largest and oldest fortifications in Germany. Originally built in the 10th century and later expanded into a state fortress, the complex today offers impressive insights into medieval and early modern history.

April 29, 2025,Wandern zur Burg am Hohentwiel

With Deutsche Bahn...without delay.👍.to Singen
First through the city...city park...to the southern slope of Hohentwiel...volcanic mountain...
Sunny and hot 🔥 through the vineyards to Hohentwiel Fortress...admission 2.50 for seniors...a huge complex with a great view...I returned the same way because the planned return route was almost entirely asphalt, and that's not really fun.
A super nice trip...🥰🌞🥵

With an area of nine hectares, Hohentwiel is one of the largest fortress ruins in Germany and offers the most beautiful view in the country: from the historic fortifications, the view sweeps from Lake Constance over the rolling hills of the Hegau to the chain of peaks of the Swiss Alps.
