In the midst of vineyards, the castle ruins tower over Staufen. There are different ways to the top. The view is breathtaking and uniquely beautiful. Also easily accessible with children. Exploring the ruins is fun. Parking is possible on site. The ascent took about 30 minutes.

Staufen is a quaint old village with many beautiful buildings and a walk up to the castle is the best way to view it. A walk from the train station takes you thought the town and past all the surrounding vineyards. There’s not too much to see at the castle itself but it’s all worthwhile just for the view. If your in Freiburg, it’s worth the drive to see Staufen. Great wine too.

Tough climb, especially with fully packed trekking bikes, but worth the views. Best enjoyed with a nice wine in town afterwards.
