Steineck castle ruins - very arduous ascent across the terrain - very steep - no path - moss-covered stones at the top - small remains of walls - hollows - no idea what the castle should have looked like.
Wikipedia - Steineck Castle, also known as Steineckke or Nordeck, is the ruin of a medieval hilltop castle at 350 m above sea level. NN near Steinach in the municipality of Burglauer in the Lower Franconian district of Rhön-Grabfeld in Bavaria. The castle is located to the east of the Franconian Saale on a mountain spur protruding from the steep slope. The castle was first mentioned in a document in 1201. According to tradition, the castle burned down on Christmas Eve. The castle was divided into a bailey and a main castle. In front of the outer bailey was a deep moat that can still be seen today. Wall remains on the front of the main castle suggest a shield wall. Only small remains of walls and traces of ramparts and ditches have been preserved from the castle complex.
