    The "Alte Veste" complex now consists of three buildings: the historic tower, a restaurant and a forester's house.
    The "Alte Veste" was built between 1228 and 1235 as a so-called tower hill castle. During the Thirty Years' War (1618 - 1648), the Alte Veste was the focus of the battle named after it between the imperial army under Wallenstein and the army of the Swedish king Gustav Adolf.

      At certain times the tower is open and can be climbed at no cost to enjoy the view and panoramic view. Beautiful trails lead down behind the Veste
