    Ulrichstein Castle is located in the northwestern part of the Vogelsberg and is visible from afar from the plain.

    The remains of Ulrichstein Castle, which once served to protect important trade routes, date from the 12th century. At the foot of the castle hill lies the town of Ulrichstein, the highest town in Hesse.

    The castle was demolished in 1826, and today only parts of the ruins remain of the once well-fortified stately administrative headquarters. The ruined landmark of Ulrichstein now has a viewing tower from which a wonderful panoramic view of the Hessian low mountain range is possible

    When the weather is clear, the panoramic view extends north towards Alsfeld to the Knüllgebirge, west towards Grünberg, south towards Büdingen and Gelnhausen, Wetterau, Taunus and Spessart as well
    east towards Hünfeld, Fulda and the Rhön.

      In the area of the castle ruins there is also the Vogelsberggarten, which shows the flora of the Vogelsberg.

        From the tower of the castle ruins you have a perfect view. In addition, the Vogelsberg Garden with various botanical specialties of the Vogelsberg region and a herb garden invites you to visit.
        The war cemetery with graves of different nations also makes you think.
