Wildenburg Castle, idyllically situated in the forest, offers a wonderful destination for a hike with its well-preserved ruins and viewpoint. The ascent via the forest path from Sensbach is particularly worthwhile, as it is quiet, unspoiled, and offers beautiful views. Those who like can round off the tour with a detour to the Roman fort of Würzberg or a coffee in Michelstadt's old town.

Beautifully situated on a hill, a relatively well-preserved ruin.
Great for kids, of course...
