After visiting many castles in Germany, the one that left the deepest impression on me was Hohenzollern Castle. Compared to the fairy-tale appearance of Neuschwanstein Castle, Hohenzollern Castle has an inherent majestic aura, standing tall and proud. The castle winds upwards from the base, with seven pointed towers and a total of 140 rooms. The famous halls include the Count's Hall, the King's Hall, the Genealogy Hall, and two small chapels. Walking around the castle, looking at the portraits and items of the rulers of the past, it's like walking through a historical time tunnel. From the late Middle Ages to before World War I, after hearing the story of this family, you will have a good understanding of most of German history. Hohenzollern Castle

#2024wish I wanted to visit Hohenzollern Castle as it looked so beautiful in the pictures. Although I didn't manage to enter the castle, I still managed to get some great photos from a hill top opposite the castle. However, the journey to that top of the hill was exhausting. I had to go through thick layers of snow. It was worth it though. In 2024, I hope to visit Neuwachstein Castle.

#2023travelwish I have always wanted to visit Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. However, it is quite far away from the hotel where I am staying. Thus, I chose to go Hohenzollern Castle which was 3 hours train ride away alone. While in the train, I realised that I had to purchase the tickets and the tickets for the timing I wanted to go in was sold out. Not only this, I could not see any buses available and I had to take expensive taxi. I can only view the castle from the outside. I also went to a hill top opposite of the castle. I had to hike through the forest in the hill for about 1 hr in order to get there. I was so exhausted when I got there. The view from there was quite worth it. When I tried to get back to the train station, I was kinda lost and had to get help from a restaurant to help me get a taxi. It was quite an experience especially in the winter.

Hohenzollern Castle (Burg Hohenzollern) is located in Tübingen. It was built in the 11th century. Later, it gradually collapsed due to disrepair, so the then Prince Friedrich Wilhelm decided to rebuild this ancestral castle. The reconstruction of the castle began in 1850 and was finally completed in 1867 after 17 years of construction. The rebuilt Hohenzollern Castle is world-famous for its strong neo-Gothic heroic style, which forms a sharp contrast with the romantic fairy-tale style of Neuschwanstein Castle at the same time. They are regarded as the two most famous castles in Germany.

Hohenzollern Castle is located on a high ground, which is geographically easy to defend and difficult to attack. From its vantage point, one can overlook the entire southern German land.
