      The Hungarian border castle Hornstein, built as a brick fortress between 1340 and 1345 by order of the Hungarian King Louis the Great, was an important fortress in the chain of border castles between Hungary and the west until 1390.

        Even if there is not much left of the castle, the view from here is great
