I've taken the castle tour twice. It's interesting to learn about the history behind it. Sadly because of King Ludwig's death, the castle was never finished. Only about 25% of the castle was ever used/finished. Oh, and wear comfortable shoes if you want to go. It's a fairly steep climb. Otherwise be prepared to shell out some cash for the carriage ride up the mountain.

It's a very special place because it's still owned and inhabited by the family von Eltz who had the oldest parts built 800 years ago.

It's important, because the monk Martin Luther did the unthinkable here and translated the Bible (new testament) into the language of the common folk, ending the exclusive reign of the catholic clerics over the interpretation of the Bible. As the Bible surprisingly deviated quite far from what the church has been selling until then it lead to the foundation of the protestant church (Lutheran church). It also played a key element in the 1848 revolution https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wartburg
