Schloss Hohenburg is a medieval castle perched on a hill above the town of Lenggries, about 15 km south of Bad Tölz. The castle dates back to the 13th century and has been renovated over the centuries. Today, it operates as a youth hostel and event venue, welcoming travelers and groups. The castle's architecture features a striking tower, a courtyard, and a chapel. From its terraces, visitors enjoy panoramic views of the Karwendel and Tegernsee Alps. The interior retains historic elements like vaulted ceilings and a grand staircase. The youth hostel offers affordable accommodation in a unique setting, with modern amenities. The castle grounds include a garden and a playground. While the castle is not a museum, its atmosphere and setting make it a memorable stop for history buffs and hikers exploring the Isar valley.
