There is hardly anything left of the ruins, but it is a romantic spot in the forest.

Very cool up there. Even if there is a lot missing from the ruins, there are countless small paths and corners to hide up there.
But sometimes pretty steep.

The castle was first mentioned in documents in 1079. The relatively extensive area is not secured. Enter the ruins at your own risk!
The center of the castle is located on a hill surrounded by a deep moat. There is still an impressive wall at the top. Crashed and fallen trees are lying everywhere. But if you like castles and forests, you're in good hands here.
Below the remains of the wall in the middle you have a wonderful view towards the Höllental entrance. The streets here were probably also the reason for the construction of the castle.
