One of the highlights of our wonderful stop in Baden Baden was the hike we took up to the old castle. This is a pretty good walk with a good incline at the end but it is well worth it and imminently doable for anyone in reasonably good shape. The trail starts right down in the town. You walk up...

If you visit for the spa's and don't see this castle you are missing out. They let you go all the way to the top! They also have rooms available for 76/86 euro a night which offer a great view. The accomodations are very modest so no TV or internet but offers a peaceful night with a very relaxing breakfast... More

A good walk up to the castle. Entry is free to the castle ruins and there is a nice cafe/restaurant before you set off back.

It is possible to buy a map from the tourist information centre (which we should have done as we took the LONG way! It took an hour to walk up and about 30 minutes... More

Not sure why this place doesn't get more attention in tourist information, city guide doesn't take you there, but you can view it from parts of the old town and if you have the chance, and as it is quite a hike, a car, please take the time to visit. You will be rewarded with some of the best preserved... More

I hiked from Baden Baden up to the castle ruins. The hiking paths were shown on the Stadtplan map available at the tourist center (Trinkhalle). The castle is in ruins but is an amazing example of a medieval castle: no Disneyworld feel here. You are allowed to go everywhere in the castle (with ladders/stairs provided to allow you to go... More
