The castle is a wonderful place for people of all ages. You can spend an afternoon just walking around the ruins and have a great time. Or, for those who are hungry for more information, they also have two museums (one, a history of the castle and the other a history of the area, geologically). There is also a restaurant... More

The Christmas market in December 2012 was very busy and well attended. Great atmosphere and loved the costumes of so many people depicting the Middle ages. A fun time, though very, very cold. A lovely view from the site and easy to get to. GPS works well when locating.

Perhaps I am spoiled...visited several castles/Burgs and I guess I am not impressed much by ruins. However, there was a high point that was accessible so to get a great view of the area.

Even on a busy day, the grounds are large enough that you will feel like you are alone most of the time. It is amazing to look at the castle design and the thickness of the walls. There is a tower...

This is a great visit. The castle was very easy to find with close/easy parking. The castle, although In Ruins (very ruined) is still very large and cool to see. Some extra research will help you appreciate what your seeing. Be sure to climb the flights of stairs up the tower. It has wonderful 360 views! Best of all the... More

Great stop with amazing views for miles; two interesting museums, and a romantic ruin to climb over, Useful pub right there too, next to the youth hostel!

This past weekend we visited the Medieval Fest at Schloss Lichtenberg. The medieval fest was, by far, the largest and most entertaining we've seen in this area so far. The castle encompasses quite a large area and it took a while to cover everything the fest had to offer. There were many booths offering anything from incense to toy swords... More

This series of castle buildings and ruins is very accessible to families with young children, and is also entertaining for people of all different age groups and interests. The ruins are impressive and the grounds are fairly well-maintained. We were there with a fairly rugged stroller, and we even saw an older lady there with a walker. There is a... More

Burg Lichtenberg is known to be the largest castle ruins in Germany. There are gorgeous views in every direction from the castle tower. This is definitely a family-friendly place to go, as kids can climb on the walls and roam the ruins. There are gecko-like lizards climbing around the walls which seemed to be a huge interest to all of... More
