To make a day of it
Burg Isikofen stands in Jungnau (Landkreis Sigmaringen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.
The Burg Isikofen is a ruined castle set on a rocky spur above the Lauchert valley, a few kilometers south of Jungnau. Built around 1100 by the lords of Isikofen, it had already fallen into disuse by the late 14th century. What remains today is little more than a mound of rubble, within which traces of a curtain wall and a building can still be made out. It is a site better suited to a walk in a scenic setting than to viewing intact architecture.
