    The Scharfeneck ruin is the ruin of a spur castle northeast of the market town of Oberscheinfeld in the Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim district in Middle Franconia. It is located on the Schlossberg, a 425 meter high mountain spur of the Steigerwald. From the original Scharfeneck Castle, only the 16 meter high keep still exists today, which is maintained as a lookout tower by the Steigerwald Club Oberscheinfeld.

      The Steigerwaldklub is often upstairs on Sundays and serves coffee and cake.

        On Sundays and public holidays from Easter to the Oberscheinfelder Kirchweih in mid-October, the tower is open from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. when the weather is nice and you can climb it for a small fee. From above you have a wonderful view of the southern Steigerwald.
        The tower service of the Steigerwaldklub Oberscheinfeld does not usually sell drinks, coffee and cake!
