Hiking

High above Gemünden lies the accessible castle ruin, partly with catering facilities and a theatre where the Scherenburg Festival takes place in the summer.

Hiking

The Scherenburg was built in 1243 by the Counts of Rieneck to secure customs revenue during the crossing of the Main. Due to border disputes with the Würzburg Bishop Hermann I. von Lobdeburg the castle went to a settlement in 1469 at Würzburg. It was named after the prince-bishop Rudolf II of Scherenberg. Before it became the property of the city Gemünden, she was until 1825 privately owned and still inhabited.

Venue of the Castle Festival... I leave it to each viewer and user to judge for themselves whether the grandstands behind it optically enhance the whole thing
