A highlight with a rarity. In its heyday, this facility offered the villagers protection from attackers. Unfortunately, the condition is deteriorating with progressive erosion, which is why it is dangerous to see the castle up close. An information board reveals more and if you continue hiking, you can catch nice glimpses of the marvel.

The rocky cliffs opposite the town of Buchfart are constantly changing due to progressive erosion. The rock castle located there is called a cave castle. The expansion of the complex probably began in the 10th century. It is considered a special feature in the Thuringian castle landscape. Nature has now destroyed a significant part. In 2009, extensive securing work was required on the rock face.

A look inside would be interesting, the mighty shell limestone cliff immediately captivates you.
