Great hiking trails!
You can park at the castle for free and hike in the forest behind it (listen for the cuckoos) or along the top rim of the Neckar valley and enjoy the views.

Explore your very own castle!
We visited Hornberg Castle in December, and were delighted to have the place almost completely to ourselves! The castle grounds are also home to a hotel and restaurant, with impressive views of the Neckar Valley. Both of these were in service, but it was a bit unclear how to access the actual castle at first, and the main tower was under construction. However, once we figured out that we had to purchase a token in the gift shop (and once the gift shop opened), we had free run of the castle ruins. We climbed old stone walls, explored medieval chapels with colorful stained glass windows, danced in a large banquet hall with enigmatic relief sculptures of queens & kings. It rained a little, and snowed a little, and we could easily imagine ourselves as princes and princesses gamboling through the various rooms and enjoying the views from on high. Not a lot of information, but super fun!
