The rock castle is visible from afar, as the castle complex rises on an approximately 200-meter-high basalt cone. This was fortified early on and controlled important trade and traffic routes such as the Frankfurter Straße and the „Sälzer Weg“. The oldest castle remains still visible today probably date from the 11th century. Particularly striking is the widely visible keep in its unique "butter churn shape", which, with its approximately 30 meters in height, counts among the highest castle towers in Hesse.

In recent years I have often ridden from Niedenstein on a well-signposted cycle path to Felsberg. A section of the route was paved last year. From Niedenstein it is almost always downhill and there are a few beautiful sights. Also suitable for families.
