    Imposing castle ruins near the so-called cave castle (originally a "wooden house" with 4 floors in a cave up to 20 m deep, closed from the outside with a so-called shield wall with windows).

    The shield wall has been preserved, access to the cave on foot via a short forest path (relatively steep, partly stairs) along the rock face (danger of falling rocks, especially in spring and winter).

    Immediately below this ruined castle is the nature reserve with the beautiful Wichensteiner See.

      The ascent from the Seeweg is only possible on foot (leave your bike behind), it is quite steep and very steep. But it's worth it, very special and unique!

        Special castle, more of an outpost.
