Schloss Auerbach in the Rain

September 17, 2014January 5, 2015

One rainy day when Sequoia and I had to kill some time, we stopped by the ruins of Schloss Auerbach. The ruins sit atop a hill in the Odenwald, just off the Autobahn.

The ruins are not robust, but there are a few little details that will keep a child interested as you explore the grounds.

We did not stay long, but you can enjoy a meal or catch a jousting tournament at the castle.

I wouldn’t go out of my way to just walk around these ruins, but if you’re in the area it’s an all right stop. After all, castle ruins never get old. If I were to return personally, though, it would only be to eat or to see the jousting tournament.
