    Very little of the Wittschlössel remains. Only a few remains of the walls and a room hewn out of the rock (without a ceiling) still bear witness to the existence of a castle. Large parts of the complex are covered in meters of rubble.

    The Wittschlössel may have been an outbuilding of Wineck Castle, located on the same ridge, or of the nearby Schöneck Castle. (Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wittschl%C3%B6ssel)

      The highlight cover photo is misleading. It belongs to the Winek castle ruins. We could not find any remains of the wall, only a large rock with a square hollow on the ground
