Top 10 Medieval Castles in Germany

Berlin, Bremen, and Hamburg are city-states which, for the purposes of Roads to Ruins offer little or nothing in terms of castles. In some regions, especially along rivers like the Rhine and the Neckar, there are so many castles you will find it quite possible to visit several sites in a day. Many others are however often easy to overlook, since they are constructed on some of the most out of the way locations imaginable. Those medievals had no respect for laid-back tourists, so plan on doing some searching and walking. The more popular sites will have road signs on major approaches in the area, but lesser sites, and especially unattended ruins, may not have their location marked at all.
