The castle itself is privately owned and only the front part can be visited. You should definitely take it with you. A very attractive ensemble.
Incidentally, the village of "Helidabergea" was first mentioned in a document in 839. The castle itself was described around 1200. In the 17th century it was then converted into a castle.

Statue of Saint John of Nepomuk

Highlight • Monument

The Stone Bridge is also called the Altwasserbrücke. However, while the bridge is hardly noticed, the sandstone figure that adorns the bridge is very noticeable. The figure of Saint Nepomuk was installed in 1996. Nepomuk is the patron saint of confessors and the saint of bridges. His grave in Prague Cathedral is adorned with a halo with five stars, which stand for the five letters of his last word: “tacui”, I was silent. In 1729 Nepomuk was founded by Pope Benedict XIII. canonized.

Heldenbergen Orchard Meadow

Highlight • Natural

Once a year, the Nidderauer Streuobsttag is celebrated here. Local apple varieties are presented and fresh juice can be tasted directly on the spot. Also in the rest of the year, the meadows invite you for a walk. Even during my visit in January, some trees still had apples that were not harvested and still tasted very delicious!

Windecken Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The Windecken district takes its name from Wonnecken Castle, which stands on a mountain spur above the farming town. The inner castle fortifications, as well as the eastern gate and the tower of the western gate of the outer bailey, have been preserved.

The old town, located in the Katzbach Valley and bordered to the north by the Nidder River, is of interest. Although the town was largely destroyed in the Thirty Years' War, its medieval structure has been almost completely preserved. In addition to the castle, the town's parish church and the market square with the town hall and renovated half-timbered houses dominate the townscape.
