Burg Randeck stands in Bissingen an der Teck (Landkreis Esslingen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burg Randeck is a ruined hilltop castle standing at 790 metres above sea level, on the edge of the Swabian Alb escarpment near the hamlet of Ochsenwang. Only fragments of walls and the outline of a former moat remain from the stronghold built in the second half of the 13th century by Conrad of Neidlingen. The site lent its name to the nearby Randecker Maar lake and today is mainly visited for the view over the plateau.

What to know

  • The site consists only of remnants of walls and a partially visible moat, with no standing building.
  • Access is on foot via a hiking path from Ochsenwang or Hepsisau, over natural terrain.
  • There are no opening hours or admission fees, as the ruin is an open-air site freely accessible at any time.
  • Its proximity to the Randecker Maar makes it easy to combine the visit with a walk to the volcanic lake.
