      The sight of Beilstein Castle is very unusual. The former ruin was extensively restored just a few years ago. A modern building with many glass and steel elements is now growing out of the thick old stone walls.
      The nearby basalt course is a reminder of the region's special mineral wealth. The former railway line through the Ulm Valley was also built to better transport the mined basalt. Basalt columns from Beilstein are also installed in front of the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt.
