From the keep, which you have previously climbed to 126 steps, you have a fantastic panoramic view of the surrounding Hammelburg. In the castle courtyard is a hotel with a restaurant, where you can stop off and of course taste wines.

The castle / chateau has been linked to viticulture for centuries. Today the facility is part of a winery. However, as it was owned by the Fulda bishopric for centuries, it was not only used for defense but also had an economic connection to the surrounding vineyards. Many buildings only date from the 19th century, the keep is much older (probably 13th century), from where there is a wonderful panoramic view of the Saale valley, the Hochrhön and the city of Hammelburg.

The current Schloss Saaleck stands on a 280 m high mountain spur. It was originally an official castle of the rulers of the monastery Fulda. It was first mentioned in writing in 1030 and served as a refuge for Hammelburg and the old Saale crossing. From the 12th century, it served as a winery.
