Hohengeroldseck

The imposing Hohengeroldseck castle ruins are visible from afar. In the Middle Ages, the Hohengeroldseck family, along with the Zähringens, were the most important rulers in the central Black Forest. This explains the size of the castle. To make the climb easier for children, an adventure trail leads up the mountain to the castle.

Hiking around Hohengeroldseck

A trip to the Hohengeroldseck castle ruins can easily be combined with a hike to Prinzbach. The Prinzbach valley is the adjacent valley and is closely linked to the castle's significance. Silver ore was mined very successfully in Prinzbach during the Middle Ages, and the profits benefited the Hohengeroldseck family. After the ore deposits were exhausted towards the end of the Middle Ages, the once-flourishing town of Prinzbach reverted to a tranquil little farming village.

Interesting relics of this past can be visited:

Remains of the old city wall

A beautiful village church dedicated to Saint Mauritius. Mauritius is the patron saint of miners.

Explore the area around the village on your own, discovering entrance holes and spoil heaps from former mining operations.
