Very nice all-round view/view...about 8 minutes walk from the parking lot...unfortunately you can't visit the tower, but you can rest or have a picnic on the platform with a bench...

From below, from the town, it looks interesting. We then walked up to the parking lot and briefly downstairs. You should be good on foot, it's not far, but it zigzags down the heap. You can't go up the tower ? The view is nice, there are also benches and a table. You can do it if you're nearby. There are other castles nearby

Nice destination for a short hike. I wouldn't travel specifically for this, but if you're in the suburbs you should go up. It offers a very nice view over the place.

The Lautertal is always worth a visit, and from the ruins you have a beautiful view of the valley. The ruin itself wasn't really my thing, because apart from a tower that you can't climb, there is only a small lawn with benches. My tip is to visit Hohen-Gundelfingen Castle or Derneck.

Hiked to the ruins early in the morning for sunrise. Accessible tower, incredibly beautiful view of the town below and into the Lautertal. From the parking lot, the castle ruins can be reached on foot in about 10 minutes, the path goes steeply in serpentines through the forest, then a steel staircase to the ruins. Before you get to the ruins you can climb a rock in front, from which you have a beautiful view of the Hohenhundersingen. There are nice seating areas in the forecourt of the castle.

The first written record of church in Danmark locality date back to the year 1291. Close to the church are several stones with a Christian text and cross inscribed. The oldest parts of the present red-brick church are from the 1300s. In the late 1400s the church was enlarged to the appearance it has today. The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
