Audio guide of the Hohennagold castle ruins

The digital Hohennagold tour

As one of Nagold's most important attractions and as a supplement to the classic castle tours on offer, MAQNIFY was commissioned to design a digital tour of Hohennagold Castle.

The medieval castle ruins of Hohennagold are prominently located above the town of Nagold and are clearly visible from afar. The castle hill can be climbed via various hiking trails through the nature reserve. Once at the top, visitors are rewarded with a marvellous view of the Heckengäu, the Black Forest and, in good weather, the Swabian Alb.

The history of the castle dates back to 500 BC. The new audio tour takes visitors on an exciting journey of discovery through the history of Hohennagold Castle and immerses them in medieval castle life. The castle can be visited free of charge all year round.

In consultation between MAQNIFY and the town of Nagold, a total of 13 stations were identified for an audio tour of the castle ruins. Judith Bruckner, chairwoman of the Verein für Heimatgeschichte Nagold e.V., designed an entertaining and amusing text for each station, which was then set to music by MAQNIFY with various narrators. Together with impressive visual material from the town of Nagold, including 3D reconstructions of the castle, the content was then put together to create a tour that brings the entire castle to life. Whether it's the keep, tournament garden, moat, shield wall, drawbridge or main castle: anyone who wants to find out more about these stations can scan the respective QR codes attached to the information boards. All content is available in German and English.
