    Witch tower

    Why this tower is called "Hexentürmchen" and since when is unknown. Unfortunately, from this tower, which was part of the pre-fortification of Balduinseck Castle, there are no more remains of the wall Stream into the opposite slope and continue parallel to the road to a steeply sloping rock ledge. On the other side of the mountain slope, from the tower to the Mastershausener Bach, there is neither a ditch nor a defensive wall or any other form of fortification. It is not known why this flank remained unsecured. Source: Text information board

        Directly at the witch tower there are a few flat spots where you can have a picnic in peace away from the path ...
