An enchanted castle ruin rises on a mountain out of the forest and offers you a beautiful view. This place is said to have been inhabited since the 11th century. Today a part of the former keep, a few walls and a legend according to which a gold treasure is said to be buried under the castle bear witness to this.

Reichenstein Castle can be considered an early settlement center in the Schönsee area. It was probably built in the late 11th century. Apart from a few remnants of the walls, only the stump of the round keep remains. However, the Reichenstein ruins are still shrouded in mystery. Legends tell of white women haunting the castle, and a treasure of gold lies beneath the ruins.
