The ruin is the remnant of a former high medieval hilltop castle in the Kartäusertal. The system was built around 1200 AD. The castle ruin is very vulnerable to collapse, so you should take special care during the visit.

Hiking

Remains of the high-rise castle, built in the early 13th century, bear witness to the former size of the complex in the wooded height and still invite you to go on discovery tours today. The ruin is near Hürnheim, Ederheim.

The site is open to the public, but use is at your own risk.
