Hiking Highlight
If you stand on top of the castle, you do not notice that you are on one. Only coming from the southeast you can still see a high wall on the mountain.
At the top you have a natural rock bench, but not a view. Nevertheless, this is a nice place for a rest. In September 2018 a "secluded" place, completely without garbage.
Wikipedia also knows something about this place:
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Hattstein
The true story, however, can be found here:

You should keep your eyes open, otherwise you will easily overlook the ruin as it has decayed heavily.

One of the greatest "Lost Places" in the Taunus! My recommendation: climb through the former moat to the ruins of the castle ....
