Burg Ruine Kurnburg
Winter months around here in Bavaria can really drag on and on so trying to find something to do especially on the rare sunny weekend is a must!
I did a little research and came upon a bunch of castle ruins within an hour from home so have set out to explore whenever I have time. The first one I went to was Burgruine Kurnburg- about an hour southwest of Grafenwoehr/Vilseck area. The GPS directions just kind of got you to a general location in the city and then you have to look for signs for the castle ruins.
From the parking lot it's not a long walk to the ruins but there definitely were longer walking trails through the woods that I want to go back and explore!
This is the first site of the castle ruins once you get through the walls. It was deserted which was great for taking pictures and exploring at my own pace.
There are some stairs around the back to climb up and get the great view overlooking all the ruins.
After exploring the ruins for a little bit, I continued along the hiking trail around back following the little bird sign - which took me on a nice loop and eventually got me back to the parking lot.
One thing I really love about hiking in Germany is that they often have signs to explain about the nature in the area.
And fun things to do along the hike! :)
