Tips
Probably the castle was built in the 11th century to protect the over the Haßberg comb running high road, the Rennweg, to protect the trade route between Bamberg and Fulda. The Bramberger knights, however, did not keep to this task, but acted on the contrary as a highwayman and robber.
Today you can enjoy a beautiful view of the region from the 500 meter high basalt summit of Bramberges.translated by
