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.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
