The castle ruins, located on the high sandstone cliffs of the Höhebge, were one of the largest in Central Germany. At an altitude of 390m above sea level, it towers over the town of Bornhagen-Rimbach in the Thuringian district of Eichsfeld.
At the entrance of the castle there is a small kiosk where you can get food after the ascent (cobblestones). Toilets are also available.translated by•August 22, 2020
