The ruins of the high medieval rock castle Rotenhan are located at 380 m above sea level about two kilometers north of Ebern above the district of Eyrichshof in the Haßberge district in Lower Franconia. The castle complex is the ancestral seat of the Barons of Rotenhan, who still own it today. Wikipedia

An imposing rock castle - carved in sandstone and first mentioned in a document in 1190. You can climb the steps (with great care) and enjoy the peace and quiet in the forest.

The castle ruins are a stop on the castle history educational trail in the Haßberge district. It has been identified by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment as a geoscientifically particularly valuable geotope 674G001 and in 2006 it was awarded the official seal of approval “Bavaria's most beautiful geotopes”. The ruin was added to this list as the fifth property in Lower Franconia.
