The Scharzfeld castle ruins are on the Karst hiking trail. The castle was a medieval fortress and was conquered in the Seven Years War in 1761 and then destroyed by the French. The ridge on which it lies is made of dolomite rock.

At the foot of the castle ruins there is the inn "Burgruine Scharzfeld".
Opening hours:
Monday to Wednesday is a day of rest
Thursday to Sunday 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
