Great excursion destination near the hall. A bit difficult access, but when you reach the top you will be rewarded with a great reconstructed castle complex. A real insider tip in the region was created with great attention to detail.

The Wysburg is said to have been one of the robber castles destroyed by King Rudolf von Habsburg in 1289/90. The castle ruins excavated from 1985 to the present day, consisting of a core and outer bailey with a surrounding wall and ditch system with a total of 1.1 hectares. The archaeological evidence of the castle siege could be provided here with a blide erected at a distance of 380m. The bombardment took place mainly on the western wall, it was the weak point of the defense. Today the castle is looked after by a castle association.
