Middle Ages at the Castle Ruins
The Burgfest Sulzberg transforms the Sulzberg castle ruins, high above the hilly landscape of the Oberallgäu region, into a vibrant medieval setting. The festival is organized by the association Burgfreunde Sulzberg e.V., dedicated to the preservation and revitalization of the historic site. The motto is 'Life and Work in the Middle Ages.'
Crafts, Market, and Allgäu Specialties
During the festival days, craftspeople demonstrate their skills, and a small medieval market offers historical goods and Allgäu specialties. The backdrop of the castle ruins, nestled in the gentle pre-Alpine landscape, creates a special atmosphere between history and nature.
Program for Families
The Burgfest is extremely family-friendly: children can try pottery, dragon archery, get their faces painted, and touch armor and weapons. For adults, there are show fights, Highland Games, and axe throwing, along with music. Interactive hands-on stations make history accessible for all age groups.
Vibrant Castle Region Allgäu
Sulzberg is located in the Allgäu Lake District, a region known for its castles and ruins. The Burgfest is part of this vibrant castle culture and a popular destination for families from all over the Oberallgäu region. The festival is usually open from Friday to Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
