Historical castle tours in Germany and Luxembourg

Overview

Historical excursions and themed tours are being organized across various European castle sites.

In mid-August, guided hikes were scheduled in Germany to explore ruins in the Upper Palatinate Forest, including Schellenberg, Haselstein, and Flossenbürg. Similar excursions were noted in Luxembourg at the 13th-century Falkenstein castle ruins near Vianden.

By September, focus shifted toward specialized themed tours at German sites such as Heidelberg Castle and Hambach Castle. Heidelberg offered fairy-tale walks for children and costume-led tours exploring court life. Hambach Castle hosted sessions regarding the 1832 Hambach Festival, including discussions on local dialects, the role of women, and the historical significance of winemakers.
