Really nice hike up the mountain through the forest. Challenging in areas but perfect for a nice little day hike. The ruins themselves were very nice to see, several portions of the old walls are still standing, with several beautiful views of Schramberg below.

This is a really nice ruin, very adventurous and interesting. There is also an audioguide available online by scanning the qr codes. It also has a GREAT view of the city! Parking space is plenty, and the parking lot has public toilet as well

Great place to visit, nice view over the city and more to explore at the ruins than you may think. If you're there with small children, keep them close as there are some unsecured areas where they may hurt themselves or fall off.

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.
