    A highlight on the Fritz-Wunderlich cycle path is of course the castle Lichtenberg. A trip there (though a very arduous climb) is a must on this tour.

      Already from the highway A62 you can see the castle drone on a mountain. She was never taken. Unfortunately, a fire destroyed it, otherwise it might have been completely preserved. Tithe barn and keep were rebuilt. The rest is either ruin or new, as the former French. Barracks, meanwhile a modern youth hostel or the geoscope. Twice a year a big medieval market takes place. But also here are always festivals or events. For me, the castle is a landmark of the Kuseler Musikantenland, which you should definitely look at, if you are in the area.

        Interesting museums with a regional background. Good restaurant

          The castle is currently being converted into a barrier-free castle. Therefore, a visit now (June 2021) is not worthwhile. There is construction going on all over the site.

              The youth hostel is also highly recommended for hikers, cyclists and families.

                One of the largest castle complexes in Germany 👍
