Burg Biberach stands in Biberach an der Riß (Landkreis Biberach), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Biberach once stood on the hill overlooking the western edge of the old town of Biberach an der Riß, on the spot now occupied by the Gigelturm.
