The first stone has stood on the next here since 1008... as a castle always undefeated! A real hiker's hit, including the surrounding landscape that is under nature protection

The Homburg was built 1028 - 1031 Reinhart von Hohenberg from Adelsberg. Highly recommended is the visit to the "Schoppen Franz" a Franconian wine tavern with panoramic views.
