Lichtenstein Castle (Schloss Lichtenstein) is a privately owned Gothic Revival castle located in the Swabian Jura of southern Germany. The castle overlooks the Echaz valley near Honau, Reutlingen in the state of Baden-Württemberg. The modern castle was inspired by Wilhelm Hauff’s 1826 novel Lichtenstein and was built in 1840–1842. The ruins of an older medieval castle are a few hundred meters away.
Cycling to Lichtenstein Castle is a fun ride with ups and down. The whole way is well-paved and runs through the forest and small villages. As you get closer to the Castel you have to make an uphill climb through the Swabian Jura mountain. At the top, you will find a magnificent Castel and a view of Lichtenstein village surrounded by mountains. There is a cafe at the top where you can eat and relax after a ride.
