Burg Bühringen stands in Bad Überkingen (Landkreis Göppingen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Bühringen, sometimes mistakenly called Burg Überkingen, is a ruined stronghold on a rocky spur 701 metres above sea level, overlooking the confluence of the Rötelbach and the Fils near Bad Überkingen. Built in the 13th century, the site today preserves only earthworks: ditches, ramparts and wall foundations, set within a wooded landscape above the valley. There is no standing building to visit, making this a walk for those drawn to castle archaeology as much as to the outdoors.

What to know

  • No building remains standing; the site consists of visible ditches, ramparts and wall foundations.
  • Access is on foot via a path leading to the rocky spur above the Fils valley.
  • There are no opening hours or admission fees, as the site is a freely accessible ruin.
  • The uneven, sloping terrain calls for sturdy walking shoes.
  • This visit suits those interested in archaeological remains rather than a restored castle.
