In contrast to the neighboring rock castle Neurathen, little is known about the history of this castle. Presumably it was built in the 11th century.

Hiking

At the jetty of the Gierseil ferry on the Oberrathen side there are now two very comfortable loungers with a wonderful panoramic view of the Altrathen rock castle and the Bastei.
Nice opportunity for a little break.
Marked with wonderful regional usage: BASDEIGUGGER!

Before you take the ferry from Oberrathen to the health resort of Rathen, you should enjoy the view across. So you can not only admire the rocky backdrop of Saxon Switzerland, but also discover the old castle above Rathen.
