In addition to the Mühlburg on the westernmost peak of the Schlossleite, another fortification occupies its highest point (Numkopf) at the eastern end. Essentially, only a western ditch and a transverse rampart rising steeply from it, approximately 5 m, remain. These protected the fortification against the easiest access on the ridge of the Schlossleite, while the terrain naturally drops steeply in other directions. Furthermore, further ditches/ramparts are faintly visible across the narrow ridge. The period of use of this castle site is uncertain—probably at least in the 12th century and probably not after the mid-13th century. Possibly planned as an addition to or replacement for the Mühlburg and then abandoned. (Text by Andreas Umbreit)
The name Numburg derives from "New Castle," which could indicate a younger age than the Mühlburg, just 1,000 m away.
