Today, only large remains of the walls of the large high medieval hilltop castle remain. The hilltop castle is dominating and visible from afar at a height of 579 meters on a limestone cone on the edge of the Ries near Bopfingen.

Short walk from the Hauffstraße car park, great view of Bopfingen and in the distance to Nördlingen, and of course a view of the IPF mountain,
