Germany - Baden-Württemberg
Schloss Guttenberg
A Karen Brown Recommendation
Burgstraße |
| Recenter Map To This Location |
Schloss Guttenberg is particularly fun to visit because not only does it have an interesting museum (displays on three floors of the tower and the opportunity to walk along the ramparts and climb the tower), but it also has the *Deutsche Greifenwarte Claus Fentzloff (German Raptor Research Center). The aviary has some magnificent eagles, vultures, and owls from around the world. Try to time your arrival to coincide with the 3 pm flight demonstration. Claus Fentzloff, his wife Bettina, and their assistants demonstrate eagles and vultures skimming just over your head across the ramparts, then swooping beyond the castle walls to ride the updrafts. The explanation is in German but if you indicate to Claus that you do not understand German, he also offers a short explanation in English. (9 am–6 pm, March to November, raptor flight demonstration 11 am and 3 pm.)
