    Rothenberg Fortress is a former fortress on the 588 m high mountain of the same name. Access is only possible with a guided tour, but this is worthwhile and takes about 35 minutes. From the fortress you have a great view of the surrounding area and of more distant places, e.g. the wind turbines in Schweinfurt, 122km away. Unfortunately, the circular route offers hardly any views of the fortress and no view either. You can see parts of the moat and the fortress cemetery is also recommended. schnaittach.de/Festung-Rothenberg.o155.html

      Very well-preserved fortress - a guided tour is recommended as there is no access without a guide. Closed in the winter months.

        Very good panoramic view from the parapet of the fortress, guidance necessary and recommended.
