Heiligenberg Tower and St. Stephen's Monastery Ruins

Highlight • Monument

St. Stephen's Monastery was built in the early Middle Ages as a church with a hermit's cell. In the 15th century, the monastery was abandoned and fell into disrepair. The Heiligenberg Tower was built from its stones in the 19th century.

The Philosophenweg is known for being able to take great photo opportunities from the castle. From here you can also get to the Thingstätte and Michaelskloster. Definitely worth seeing.
