Quite well preserved castle with a beautiful view of Fleckenstein Castle and, in the other direction, of Wegelnburg.

Hiking

The castle was cleverly built in and around a high sandstone spur. Many remnants of the walls are still visible. The architectural style and carved dates suggest different historical periods. The view from the highest point is breathtaking. Two information panels explain the panorama. In this respect, this castle far surpasses the much more extensive, but also lower-lying, Fleckenstein Castle.
