Burgruine Hochwacht
Burladingen, Germany, Germany
Burgruine Hochwacht, also known as Burg Hohenburladingen or Burg Hohenburladingen auf der Hochwacht, is the remains of a small medieval Spornburg located on the 895‑meter‑high Hochwacht spur about 500 meters north of the town of Burladingen in the Zollernalbkreis of Baden‑Württemberg, Germany.
The fortress was built in the first half of the 12th century, probably by the local noble lords of Burladingen, and served as a compact hilltop castle facing the Fehla valley, with areas once used for the keep, hall, courtyard, and a Zwinger‑like outer zone.
The site was abandoned around the late 13th or early 14th century, and today only low masonry fragments and the roughly six‑meter‑high remains of the former tower base are visible, set within a freely accessible, wooded area that is often combined with visits to the nearby Höllensteinhöhle and the other ruins such as Ringelstein and Hohenringingen.
