Burgruine Stiegelesfels stands in Fridingen an der Donau (Landkreis Tuttlingen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Recorded dating: 11th century. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgruine Stiegelesfels stands on a rocky outcrop 770 metres above sea level, within a nature reserve near Fridingen an der Donau. Built in the first half of the 12th century, it consisted of a lower bailey and a fortified upper section on a narrow rock ridge, where a residential tower likely once stood. What remains today are wall fragments of small ashlar masonry from the lower bailey, seven metres long and two to three metres high. The site was formerly owned by the town of Fridingen.

What to know

  • The remains lie within a nature reserve and cannot be approached or visited, as access to the ruins is prohibited due to the danger they pose.
  • The site is located about 1250 metres southeast of the parish church of Fridingen an der Donau.
  • There are no opening hours, fees or visitor facilities, since the ruin cannot be visited.
  • The main interest of the place lies in its presence as a landmark within the Danube valley landscape, best observed from nearby trails rather than from the rock itself.
