The ruins of Lauterburg Castle, located along a nature trail, are located on the edge of the Oberwohlsbach district of Rödental. Since 1999, the ruins have been open to the public again and are a popular destination for young and old. Since then, the Rödental Local History Society has maintained the castle complex with particular dedication. The ruins have always been one of the most popular destinations in the Coburg region, offering magnificent views of the surrounding countryside.

The ruins of Lauterburg Castle are located on the outskirts of Oberwohlsbach on the Spitzberg, an outcrop of the Thuringian Forest on the southern slope of the Hohe Schwenge in the Coburg region. Founded around 1700, the castle was built on a hilltop castle dating back to 1150.

Small, but fine and well preserved ruin. Invites to a picnic and is relatively isolated from the hustle and bustle.
