A slight ascent leads from the lake to the ruins. Castles know almost nothing about the earlier use of the Veste, but it is said to be the oldest castle in the Allgäu. Almost completely disintegrated, it now sits above the picturesque Hopfensee and you can enjoy a great view from it.

From this castle ruin from the 11th century you have a great view of the Hopfensee and the Alpine foothills.
