Tips
The Gelsterburg is an abandoned spur castle, probably built in the second half of the 11th century. Unfortunately, there is no reliable documentary evidence of when and by whom it was built.
Only a few remains can be seen today.translated by

Historic place. Unfortunately, you can hardly see anything from the former castle.
The way to the castle is a picturesque path.translated by•April 20, 2018
