    A short detour to the Greifenstein Castle ruins is definitely worthwhile. However, there's no long-distance view from up here.

      The castle ruins were first mentioned in a document in 1397 and inhabited until 1661. During the GDR era, the ruin could not be reached due to its direct proximity to the Grm former border strip (today the Green Belt). Unfortunately, the signposting in this area still leaves a lot to be desired.
