A lovely hilltop Castle! Great place to visit for someone interested in history and medieval life! There is also an interesting museum! Some part of the castle can be visited for free, while for some you need to pay! We did not know about that and a nice lady there allowed us to visit the part with ticket also for free. The drive to Altena is also scenic. Worth a one time visit!
We went to this place on cloudy Sunday in Autumn, the place itself is very nice to spend few hours.
Transport: we went there by car as there was road construction going kn, we parked our car a km away. There is also a path which takes directly to the castle, as we saw many cars parked there.
Reaching the castle: As said you could directly reach by car else there two other possibilities, there is a lift that operates from the bottom of hill and then there is a small hike. We chose to hike.
The place: the place itself is nice and well maintained. There are opportunities to walk around the castle and inside the castle, you have to purchase ticket. If you have ruhrtopcard then it's accepted here.
Eating : there is a restaurant inside the castle where you can plan your meal, we packed our food as there was lots of tables to sit inside the castle.
Hope this helps.
Very nice historical castle with a good view from the top.
8 euros total per person if you go thru the tunnel entrance to use the elevator. Or 4.80 € to walk up to the castle. Self guided tour that i finish under 1 hour. Public Parking can be located in the streets by the river.
Beautiful castle above the city. Currently closed because of COVID, but you can visit the outside places and do a trip around the castle. Thursday to Sunday the castle restaurant is opened.
