Blick auf Hohenfreyberg von der Ruine Eisenberg
Photo: Julian Knacker, Pfronten Tourismus

High above the village of Zell, the two imposing twin castle ruins of Hohenfreyberg and Eisenberg tower majestically.

The castle ruins of Hohenfreyberg and Eisenberg form an impressive focal point within the gentle hilly landscape. These freely accessible castle ruins offer a unique view of the Pfronten Valley and the Allgäu Alps beyond.

The castle ruins have been renovated by the Eisenberg Castle Association and the municipality, and they are meticulously maintained to preserve the medieval-style fortifications for future generations.

You are welcome to participate in castle tours (with prior registration) or visit the Eisenberg Castle Museum, where exhibits from excavations of Eisenberg Castle are on display.

Opening times

The ruins are open at all times.

Price:
