Circular route Neuenburg Freyburg

Short Description

This circular route takes you from Freyburg via Neuenburg Castle and back.

Description

If you want to see far, you have to climb high. If you want to start at Schützenplatz, the path begins directly at the parking lot halfway up. It goes into the forest and uphill a bit hidden. Please pay attention to the markings.
After about 10 minutes you will reach the top. On the left side you will be greeted by a paddock with horses, on the right side you will find the Weinberghotel Edelacker. This place is infamous for offering a magnificent sunset over Freyburg from the outdoor terrace during dinner. Reservation is recommended.
Once you have passed the hotel, you will reach Neuenburg Castle after a few minutes, which towers high above Freyburg. It houses a museum and several exhibitions.
After enjoying the splendid view at the fountain, you will go downhill through the gate and turn left along the castle wall. Shortly afterwards you will be back down. From there, follow the path further into the city center.
