Fine castle ruins that host occasional celebrations with beer and grilled food... coffee and cake lovers will also get their money's worth... but you should check the opening times... and if you're there for hiking... the path along the mountain ridge... a dream

Trimburg, or Trimberg Castle, is the ruin of a medieval hilltop castle belonging to the Lords of Trimberg, east of the village of the same name, a part of the municipality of Elfershausen in Lower Franconia in the Bad Kissingen district of Bavaria, Germany.[1] The ruins are visible from afar, about 60 meters above the Franconian Saale River on the Pfaffenberg mountain. Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimburg
Unfortunately, the ruins are only accessible on Sundays, but with catering. Please inquire about opening hours.
