The castle ruins Rabeneck stands in the district of Weissenstein and is the remainder of a medieval Niederadelsburg. This castle once closed off the Nagold revolving mountain to the "Hinterer Tal". Since 1997 there is a youth hostel.

The ruins have been well restored and are integrated into the youth hostel building. Next to the courtyard is a large playground with a remarkable old plane tree. In front of it, across the street, is the Rabeneck Restaurant with a beer garden and guest rooms.
