The top 3 castles and locks: a trip for the whole family

The impressive castles and castles in Germany attract visitors like magnetically! Where kings once switched and shot, today adults and children experience exciting adventures alike. But what are the top spots for an unforgettable day full of history and beauty? An ambitious ranking from testberichts.de, which is based on two million online reviews, has now chosen the best 1,300 castles and locks-and the results are breathtaking!

The kings of the castles and locks

At the top of the podium, the glamorous Elmau Castle , which ranks its splendor through the alignment of two G7 peaks into the world! With a fantastic evaluation of incredible 4.9 stars , visitors magically attract magically with its alpine panorama and the exquisite atmosphere. A fan describes the journey as "a trip to another world" - it couldn't be better!

in second place with shiny 4.8 stars is the Burg Burghausen , which adorns itself with a fabulous length of one kilometer than the longest castle in the world! Here the guests not only enjoy the view, but also the free parking spaces and the delicious gastronomy. A place that is also ideal for families.

and also the Burg Oybin in Saxony smiles from third place with an excellent evaluation of 4.8 stars . Up here you appreciate the impressive view and the snack bars, whereby an ascent with the historic railway is recommended-solid footwear is a must!

The dark side of the locks

nicht nur Glanzlichter, sondern auch echte Flops ans Licht gebracht! At the end of the list, the Gartrop Castle in NRW holds the inglorious red lantern. With only 3.0 stars ensures unfriendly staff and a bad price-performance ratio ensures nasty surprises. The former showpiece has nothing more of its old shine!

also the Castle Coswig and the Hohendorf Castle are no better. Coswig is limited to 3.3 stars - a visitor notices that the castle "only looks good from afar"! - and Hohendorf gets away with 3.5 stars, but suffers from overpriced prices in the café!

Bavaria's superiority in the castle ranking

Bayern dominate the ranking! Of 20 castles and locks with at least 4.8 stars are half in the Free State. While Baden-Württemberg shines ninth with a new addition, the city-states are far behind. Berlin has the Köpenick Castle with 4.6 stars, but Bremen and Hamburg can keep up with 4.5 stars!

It's not just the Bavarian fortresses, the rays! The most famous locks such as the Neuschwanstein Castle have most reviews-over 95,000! - but they cannot be found in the top 10 inexplicably. Is that injustice? In the 150th place it is enough for good 4.6 stars !

The methodology behind this ranking is just as exciting! A thorough evaluation of Google reviews was measured. The more reviews, the better the rank. Reviews of historical buildings, which are also used as hotels or restaurants, flowed into the list with their authentic characters. The data recording ended at 10.10.2024 .
