    Medieval castle remains. According to the display board, this only existed for a few years.

    Hiking

    As early as 1225, according to the plaque placed here, only a deed of donation to the Banz monastery, which mentions this place, reminded of the castle. When it was rediscovered in 1956, there was already a quarry here that had "eaten into it".

    This castle ruin is hidden in the forest between Buch and Wüstenwelsberg. Only hewn rocks and the remains of walls remain of the castle, which was already a ruin in the 13th century.
