To make a day of it
Burgstelle Isenburg stands in Horb am Neckar (Landkreis Freudenstadt), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.
The Burg Isenburg no longer stands: this medieval stronghold, built in the 12th century on a hill above the hamlet of Isenburg, has left only a site now occupied by a rest area with a shelter. Originally a spur castle with a neck ditch and a square keep, it is thought to have belonged to a noble family connected to the Counts of Hohenberg. It has lain in ruins since 1525, and no structures remain to be seen.
