Minesinger Heinrich von Morungen was born here, wondering if there are any descendants with powerful voices in the area 😴.
Apart from a foundation wall and the ditches, not much is left of the cliff castle.

In summer you feel like an explorer here when you explore the remains of the old Morungsburg in the "jungle" of the beech undergrowth. Unfortunately, not much has survived. But if you take the time to explore the ruins, you will find it. A few remains of the wall, clearly visible ditches and looking up from the edge of the forest, the castle hill stands out clearly between the trees. A paradise for little adventurers and explorers!

Castle ruins in the middle of the beech forest. Unfortunately, there is little to see
