A very nice place with lots of half-timbered houses right next to the castle ruins of the same name.

When you are here, you should take the time to climb the tower of the castle ruins. From up there you have a great 360 ° panorama of the area around Zavelstein. In addition, you will inevitably pass the most beautiful houses in the small old town on the way there.
