Burgreste Walterstein stands in Kolbingen (Landkreis Tuttlingen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burg Walterstein once stood on a projecting limestone crag rising to 850 metres at the edge of the Swabian Alb plateau, some distance from the village of Kolbingen. Today only a ruin site remains: the castle structure itself is gone, leaving ground traces and scattered rubble. The place will appeal mainly to hikers and those interested in regional medieval history rather than visitors seeking standing remains.

What to know

  • The site lies about 2.9 km northwest of Kolbingen and is reached via a hiking trail.
  • No standing structures remain, only ground traces and scattered masonry rubble.
  • Access is free and unrestricted, as this is an open-air site without visitor facilities.
  • Sturdy walking shoes are recommended given the natural terrain and the limestone plateau's relief.
  • No information is available regarding accessibility for visitors with reduced mobility.
