Walking route

Accessibility

Guttenberg Castle should offer an incomparable excursion experience for everyone. Therefore, the topic of accessibility is a high priority for us and we implement this throughout for all our guests wherever possible. To help you plan your excursion, you will find all the important information on accessibility in the respective areas of our castle here.

Toilets on the castle grounds

There are disabled toilets on the castle grounds both in the area of the Deutsche Greifenwarte and in the entrance area opposite the ticket office.

Raptor Center

The flight demonstration is accessible via a separate barrier-free entrance. The tour leads through the medieval kennel grounds and is therefore unfortunately not barrier-free.

Castle gastronomy

The castle tavern and part of the adjacent terrace as well as all event rooms are accessible without barriers.

Museum

The Renaissance building is only accessible via a stone spiral staircase and is therefore unfortunately not barrier-free.

Dogs

You and your four-legged friends are very welcome in the outdoor area of Guttenberg Castle! Exceptions for dogs are the castle museum and the area of the Deutsche Greifenwarte from the barrier at the castle bridge. Dogs are best kept in the shady beer garden during their stay in the Castle Museum and the Deutsche Greifenwarte, where they are provided with fresh water.

Environment & Leisure

Guttenberg Castle itself, as well as the wonderful surroundings of the Neckar valley, offer much worth seeing. Discover the numerous leisure opportunities near and in the castle: visit neighbouring castles, popular excursion destinations along the Neckar and explore the breathtaking nature of our surroundings.
