    Hiking

    The splendor and knights' halls of the well-preserved Rabenstein Castle can be explored on a guided tour and also learn about the history of the masonry. After the castle tour you can then comfortably in the Gutsschenke or dine royally in the castle restaurant.

    The opening times of the restaurants and the exact times of the guided tours can be found at burg-rabenstein.de.

    Hiking

    The Höhenburg is located in the Franconian Switzerland-Veldenstein Forest Nature Park on a rocky mountain spur at about 420 meters above the valley of the Ailsbach in the Franconian Switzerland, 6.5 kilometers northwest of Pottenstein. Within walking distance of the castle is the Sophienhöhle a tourist attractive stalactite cave.
    The oldest parts of the castle were built in the first quarter of the 12th century as a residence in the Waischenfeld dominion.
