Burg Hohenzollern

After a tasty lunch in Haigerloch, we drove to the nearby Burg Hohenzollern. Parkings (for 2€) were available about half-way up the hill. But there were shuttle buses to take visitors to the main entrance (for a fee, of course) if they didn't want to hike. With two young kids, we took the shuttle bus.

We purchased the ticket package that included a guided tour (in English!). The tour lasted about 45 min. and we got to see the interior rooms (which were off-limit to visitors who don't get the guided-tour package. The view of the valley beneath is breathtaking (and must have been scary for the occupants to see enemies coming in from all directions during battles).
