Entrance to Mespelbrunn Castle costs € 5.50 for adults, including the site, a guided tour and access to the inn. The forester's house Echterpfahl is no longer managed. Part of the path is identical to the path of the sloping, red bar tour suggestion 3, as described on the board in Mespelbrunn, which I would go next time.
