Schloss Ortenberg (Ortenberg Castle) is the fairy-tale castle of the Baden region. The view of the castle at the entrance of the romantic Kinzigtal valley is simply stunning. Destroyed in 1678, the landmark of the Ortenau area was only rebuilt in the Gothic style in the 19th century. Enjoy being the lord or lady of the castle for once!
Lovingly maintained timber-framed houses, picturesque corners and dreamy little nooks await you in the village. How about a visit to the mediaeval town of Gengenbach? Right next door, Strasbourg beckons. Or maybe you'd prefer a trip to the Europapark in Rust?
Special features of Schloss Ortenberg Youth Hostel:
The hostel in the castle is only 500 m away from the village. 4 common rooms with 24-78 seats
1 common room in a separate gardener's house for about 100 people; it can be divided up by a folding wall and is, along with a piano, ideal for music rehearsals

The hostel is fantastic, probably one of the best I stayed in during my semester traveling Europe. After a day in Heidelberg, we booked a night at Schloss Ortenberg on a whim. To our surprise/delight, the hostel is actually IN a castle. Rooms are clean, staff are friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is filling. Tired after a week of travel, we were content to spend the later hours of the evening wandering the property. Ortenberg is about a 10-euro cab ride from the nearest train station at Offenburg. A bus runs from the station to the town, but only until 6 p.m. or so. BEAUTIFUL, and a GREAT EXPERIENCE!
