    Tips

    It is believed that the Schauenburg was built between the seventh and ninth centuries and served as a place to live and flee. It may also have been part of the border fortifications against the Saxons. After frequent changes of owners and lords of the castle, it fell into disrepair again in the 16th century and served the surrounding towns as a quarry. It was not until the years 2005 to 2007 that the facility was measured and secured, as was the rest of the outer wall.

    After this eventful past, there is not much left of the castle. But it's a very nice place to stop and the short climb is worth it. On top of the mountain you will find four thrones from which you have a wide view of the country.

        The seating on the castle hill is comfortable and you can enjoy the great view from there.
