This adorable castle is as enchanting as it looks, as if right out of a story book. A little over an hour south/west from Stuttgart near Honau, Germany this Schloss sits high on a cliff over looking the valley & the Swabian Albs (alps). We took off one beautiful afternoon in November & decided to visit this charming Castle. We enjoyed walking the grounds & taking in the views of the valley. There is a ropes course on the castle grounds & a few places to sit & eat or have a picnic. Historically, there has been a castle sitting on this spot since the 1200's. Destroyed & fallen into ruin it was eventually rebuilt during the early 1800's & now owned by the Dukes of Urach but open for visitors & tours. We did not tour that day but fully intend to go back for one. The luxury of being so close to some of these wonderful places!

| Walking up to the castle can be really deceiving. You wouldn't know from this southwest view that there is a cliff on the other side. |
