Ruine Lägelen stands in Beuron (Landkreis Sigmaringen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Ruine Lägelen, also known as Wagenburg, stands on a rocky spur above Hausen im Tal, a village within the municipality of Beuron in the Danube valley. Built around 1100 by the knights of Lägelen, it now survives only as scant wall remains, located near the campsite that still bears the name Wagenburg. Visitors can still make out part of a shield wall over three metres thick and some bossed stone blocks thought to belong to a keep. Local legend tells of a cruel maiden who, with her black poodle, guards a hidden treasure in the caves beneath the rock.

What to know

The site sits on a rocky spur above the Danube valley, right next to a campsite called Wagenburg.
Only scattered wall remains survive, with no structure set up for organised visits.
Reaching the ruins involves a footpath and a climb up the spur, requiring a basic level of fitness.
There are no opening hours, fees or visitor facilities, as the site is freely accessible outdoors.
