This is a fantastic place to stay at the edge of the Schwarzwald. We had an excellent time at the castle. I had the local food sampler, “ Baden Happas” and local Bier while overlooking the valley and vineyards. We had a family sized suite with three rooms and a private garden and outdoor dining “ cabin” that must be outstanding in the winter, with a wood stove. Yes, it is not perfect as a hotel, but the scenery out my window was priceless. Yes, there were many steps to climb to our suite in the gatehouse which was an authentic fortress building with gun slits that were plugged and a “ hell hole” evident from the tunnel below. We loved it. There is no air conditioning, but in August, on the mountain, it wasn’t needed. Yes, I wish there were screens on the windows, but that would alter the view. Screenless windows are fairly common in European places where we have stayed. We had two great hikes right from the castle. One led through the vineyard to the forest in well marked trails. We hike often, so the trails and steps were not a problem. We drove through the mountain forest to Hohenbaden, a ruined castle that was great, as was the drive. We had lunch in nearby Gernsbach, at a riverside bier garten that was excellent. People with knee and leg problems, this is not a place for you. It would be difficult. Epicureans, hikers, and wine lovers- this is your heaven!
