Burgruine Hattstein
Schmitten, Germany, Germany
Burgruine Hattstein is a medieval spur castle ruin situated between Schmitten and Oberreifenberg in the Taunus region of Hesse, Germany, dating back to the 12th century as a strategic hilltop fortress.
Positioned on a steep slope with a prominent neck ditch for defense, its remnants include weathered stone walls and overgrown foundations amid dense forest, offering hikers challenging access and rewarding panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.
This remote, atmospheric site ranks among local attractions for history enthusiasts exploring Taunus castles, though minimal reconstruction leaves it as an evocative, wild ruin rather than a polished tourist spot.
