The ruins of the hilltop castle are located on the summit of the Straufhain, which at 449 m above sea level is the highest elevation in the Heldburg region.

The old name for the castle was "Struphe" and later "Strauf". The later name "Straufhain" for the forest surrounding the castle (a hornbeam and oak forest) is now used equally for the forest, the mountain and the castle ruins. Until recently, the Straufhain ruins were largely hidden by dense deciduous forest and could only be seen from the valley in winter. After clearing the lines of sight, the ruins are again visible from afar throughout the year.

The castle ruins can be visited at any time of the year, each has its charm. The sunsets are good to watch up there.

The Staufhain is about 449m high and was inhabited, probably already, in the Bronze Age.
