Lichtenstein Castle has a nickname that is no exaggeration: the \u201cfairy-tale castle of the Swabian Alb.\u201d When you hike along the edge of the plateau for the first time and suddenly see its little turrets rising above the sheer drop, you immediately understand why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I visited in June with my father and sister, and I was so impressed that I returned the very next day, this time on my own and with more time for hiking and photography. Along the way, I gathered plenty of useful information. So, in this guide, you\u2019ll find everything you need to plan your own visit: opening hours, tickets, the best viewpoints, and the hiking trails that are easiest to combine with a trip to the castle. And should you be inspired to explore more afterward, Lichtenstein Castle is just one of 52 highlights of the Swabian Alb<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that I\u2019ve brought together for you in my comprehensive guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
