    Hiking

    In the Middle Ages, a fortress was built on the Burgberg to secure the wine route from Frankfurt to Frankenberg. In 1376 the castle burned down and was not rebuilt. From the castle hill you have a beautiful view over the city of Frankenberg. You can still see the remains of an open-air theater from the Franconian period and the remains of the city wall. The Frankenberg elevated water reservoir, built in 1899, is also located on the castle hill.

    Hiking

    The ascent to the Burgberg makes us sweat again, but the view in the evening light makes up for it, I especially recommend the Burgberg in Frankenberg. Quite a long time ago, when the Franks were in charge here.
