Historical figures such as Bauernjörg, Emperor Frederick II, and Columbus tell their own stories in TALKING PORTRAITS. Marvel at replicas of the CROWN JEWELS of the Holy Roman Empire—800 years ago, Emperor Frederick II entrusted them to Waldburg Castle for safekeeping for over 20 years. A faithful replica of the "BAPTISMAL CERTIFICATE OF AMERICA" from 1507 is located at Waldburg Castle—without the Waldburgers, this World Documentary Heritage would have been lost forever! On the OBSERVATION DECK on the roof of the Waldburg, you’ll find yourself at the highest point in Upper Swabia and enjoy a panoramic view stretching from Lake Constance across the Alps to the surrounding countryside. Here you’ll find a FIRST-ORDER TRIGONOMETRIC POINT. The Kingdom of Württemberg was surveyed from Waldburg in 1818. The PHOTO SHOOTING ROOM houses a veritable treasure trove of armor, chain mail, dresses, medieval garments, headwear, and accessories. Best of all: You can try everything on. Fun souvenir photos are guaranteed here! For us, the path to the castle is already a worthwhile destination: The THEMATIC STELE TRAIL on the Burgsteig, a loop trail that can be walked at your own pace and explores the history of the region, the Waldburg, and the Middle Ages in general. A quiz, suitable for children, is included here. Hiking and learning form a wonderful combination here. Although we are a historic hilltop castle, the climb is easy to manage: from the parking lot at Amtzeller Straße 7, the castle is only about 300 meters away and involves an elevation gain of 48 meters.
