The upper castle was built by the by Margrave Hermann II around the year 1100. Under Margrave Bernhard I of Baden (1372-1431) was the Gothic lower castle, which was extended by Margrave James I (1431-1453). It's a little walk from the parking lot, it's a slight uphill, but literally 5 minutes and you're in the castle. When we were there, no one else was, 8:00 PM on a Thursday evening. The restaurant at the base of the castle had people in it. We loved roaming around and imagining how it must have been in medieval times. Keep wandering too, you can go all the way to the top tower with unbelievably gorgeous views. This place was free and it was unforgettable. Lots of scaffolding and reconstruction work was happening when we were there in late June of 2019.

A beautiful old castle and its ruins surrounded by the black forest, it is truly a sight. The hike isn't that hard, and is totally worth the effort. On top you can just enjoy the view and the dramatic sky

Die Burgruine Keppenbach dient als tolles Ausflugsziel für ein Picknick oder als Rastplatz für eine Wanderung inmitten des Waldes. Die Ruine ist nach einem etwa 20-minütigen gemütlichen Fußmarsch vom Sägplatz in Freiamt (beim Rathaus) durch den Wald zu erreichen.
