Rising dramatically above the Swabian Alps, Hohenzollern Castle looks like something from a medieval storybook. Although the current castle was rebuilt in the 19th century, it stands on the site of earlier fortresses connected to the powerful Hohenzollern dynasty, which produced German emperors and important rulers.
Rising dramatically above the Swabian Alps, Hohenzollern Castle looks like something from a medieval storybook. Although the current castle was rebuilt in the 19th century, it stands on the site of earlier fortresses connected to the powerful Hohenzollern dynasty, which produced German emperors and important rulers. The castle offers impressive views across the surrounding countryside, while visitors can explore royal apartments, historic collections and the famous Blue Salon. Its hilltop position provides one of the most memorable castle approaches in Germany. For outdoor travellers, the castle works perfectly as part of a walking adventure through the Swabian Alps.
