    Great big meadow. Ideal for dogs, picnics or winter sports.

      Protected ground monument. Apart from ramparts and ditches, there is not much to see, the former buildings can only be guessed at. Nevertheless, it can be seen very clearly that these are man-made traces.
      According to the information board at the entrance:
      "Protected ground monument
      Old castle
      Ramparts and moats of the castle, which was destroyed by Heinrich Raspe in 1227, on a mountain spur jutting northwest from the large Ettersberg.
      Mentioned in a deed of donation from Count Berno as early as 1079-89, the last fiefdom of the Lords of Vippach. "
      Listed on Wikipedia at de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ettersburg under "Cultural and architectural monuments", but not further described at this point in time.
