Burgstall Blickenberg stands in Altenmarkt an der Alz (Landkreis Traunstein), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgstall Blickenberg marks the site of a former medieval hilltop fortification, now vanished, located on a spur at 540 metres above sea level near Dorfen, a hamlet belonging to Altenmarkt an der Alz. There is no standing building here: this is an archaeological site where the ditches have long since been filled in and the outer works are barely discernible in the landscape. It will appeal chiefly to those interested in local history and field archaeology rather than visitors looking for a structure to explore.

What to know

No standing structure remains on site, only subtle traces in the terrain hint at the former fortification.
The site is listed as a Kulturdenkmal in Germany, making it a protected piece of ground rather than a monument set up for visitors.
No information on opening hours, fees or visit duration is available, as there is no tourist infrastructure here.
Access is on one's own, in open countryside, with no known facilities for visitors.
