    From the right place you can see the two castles. There are also signs pointing this out

    Hanstein Castle and Ludwigstein Castle at a glance:
    They used to be fierce competitors; the two castles are only about a 2-hour walk away from each other.
    During the inner-German border, the border fence ran between the two castles, Ludwigstein in the west and Hanstein in the east.
    Translated by
    Located at the edge of town and unfortunately right on the road. Warning: Dangerous - fast vehicle traffic.
    An interesting information board provides interesting facts about both castles!
    Ludwigstein Castle is also very easy to reach with a normal bicycle with a little muscle power.
    The famous Zweiburgenblick, depicted on stamps, was a well-known symbol of the division of Germany - today it is one of unity!
