Burg Stein, also called Zullestein, Kellerei Stein, Schlossberg, Schlossbuckel, was a low-rise castle with an attached settlement near the village of Nordheim, Bergstrasse district in Hesse. A fortress has been found here since Roman times, the medieval castle was completely destroyed at the end of the 17th century and was forgotten. It was not until 1957 that the foundations were rediscovered during oil drilling work (source: Wikipedia.de)
The remains are well worth seeing for those interested in history. A well-signposted "circular route" leads around the foundations that have been preserved.

With its shady location, Stein Castle offers a great destination. Some ruins, a tour and information board explain the history and life in the castle.

Very well-kept area, with enough space to rest. Plus a small hut if it rains. Everything is comfortably in the shade.
