Question

I'am going to germany to vist a castles but I know there must be one close to the black forest I just can't find it. PLZ help!

Answer 1

If you are going to the Black Forest, I recommend that you read "The Heart of Stone" (or "The Stone Cold Heart" ) by Wilhelm Hauff. It is part of his story cycle  "The Inn in the Spessart". You can buy the book used on amazon. Its essential to truly enjoying  your trip, as it captures the magic of the Black Forest.

Answer 2

There are a few:

Heidelberger Schloss (not in the Black Forest, but very famous)

Karlsruher Schloss

Schloss Eberstein bei Gernsbach

Burg Hohenzollern bei Hechingen

Wasserschloss Glatt

Schloss Staufenberg in Durbach

Fürstenberger Schloss in Wolfach

Schloss Bonndorf

Burgruine Rötteln bei Lörrach
