Sparse remains of the Illburg from the 11th century. The stones from the castle were used to build the Illburg monastery. Today there is a nice rest area here.

Not much to see of the high medieval complex from the 11th century, only small, mostly completely overgrown wall and foundation remains exist.

Hardly any explanations from the castle. Just a tiny little sign. From the outer curtain wall.
