From the Roggenbach parking lot, walk about 800 meters along the edge of the forest to the first castle ruins. The path up is very narrow and overgrown. Nevertheless, this castle ruin is worth seeing, the second ruin only has a tower, not accessible and hard to get through because everything is overgrown...., about 1.3 km from ruin one.

Beautiful castle ruins near Bonndorf. Perfect for a hike from Wittlekofen down into the valley. On nice days, however, the motorbikes are incredibly loud. Recovery is therefore only possible to a limited extent.

Beautiful castle ruins from the 12th century easy to reach on foot

Was a little disappointed. The path was very difficult, uneven and overgrown. Was a challenge.

Unfortunately, we were only able to visit one of the ruins of the Roggenbach Castles (Roggenbach Castle) because the paths to the other were closed. The access road was extremely overgrown when we visited and in some places the path had slipped a bit. We had actually expected a somewhat larger ruin. It wasn't a comfortable place to rest either.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
