The third of three hilltop castles on the site, it is located atop Mount Hohenzollern, above and south of Hechingen, on the edge of the Swabian Jura of central Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The first fortress on the mountain was constructed in the early 11th century.

This castle was completely destroyed in 1423 after a ten-month siege by the free imperial cities of Swabia.

Völklingen Ironworks - UNESCO World Heritage Site
The UNESCO World Heritage site of the former ironworks at Volklingen was the largest steel and iron-making facility of its type in the world. Bringing together all stages of the manufacturing process, combined with several innovative technological solutions meant that the ironworks had an incredible output. Unfortunately, it closed in 1986 due to economic conditions, and the local government decided it was too expensive to demolish, so it was just left to rot in place. There's some great nature trails through areas of the facility where trees, grass and other plants are taking over, and it has a wonderful post-apocalyptic feel. I loved this site, very interesting and exciting!
