    Hiking

    The former castle on the "Kirchberg" lies on a triangular extension of the forest of the same name above the valley of the Biberbach (today the Eglisee is located there).
    However, the beavers live here now.

    Hiking

    A trip into history. What must life have been like here 900 years ago? Why did this castle fall victim to fire?
    Also interesting is the legend, which, however, is known in a similar form from many abandoned castles in the region. Sometimes it's the arrogant castle lady, here it's the frivolous castle maids.
