Burg Altwildenstein stands in Leibertingen (Landkreis Sigmaringen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Altwildenstein is a medieval ruin set on a rocky spur above the Danube valley, north of Leibertingen. It belongs to a group of fortifications that also includes Burg Unterwildenstein, the Hexenturm, the Hahnenkamm and Burg Wildenstein, the latter standing higher on the same promontory. Remains of a residential tower and sections of bossed ashlar masonry, dating from a 13th century rebuilding, can still be seen. The site is an open ruin with no organised visitor facilities.

What to know

  • Access follows a narrow path along a rocky spur, suited to visitors comfortable with uneven terrain.
  • The site has no visitor infrastructure: no opening hours, no ticketing, nothing organised on site.
  • The remains, mainly wall fragments, can be seen in a short walk.
  • Burg Wildenstein stands about thirty metres higher on the same ridge, making it easy to combine both sites in one outing.
