Experience a journey back in time

Welcome to Castle Road!

On these pages, we would like to invite you on a journey through time along the Castle Road. Our holiday route will take you to well-fortified, massive castles, enchanted castle ruins, magnificent palaces and picturesque, half-timbered houses. Everywhere a bit of the past has stayed alive, and numerous museums and events tell of the ups and downs of such former times.

The exhibition titeled "The Myth of the Castle" at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg is one of the major exhibitions regarding castles, which has ever been presented. "The Myth of the Castle" will cover the entire gamut of the origins and evolution both of the actual castle as a building and of the castle as a compelling image.

The exhibition "The Hohenstaufen dynasty and Italy", which will be presented from 19th September 2010 at the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museums in Mannheim, focuses on the topic of the Castle Road, too. The programme concerning the exhibition is now available.

The Castle Road is a perfect route for travelling by caravan. Here you can find a range of caravan sites along the Castle Road.
