From the valley, the stump doesn't look too impressive, but it's worth climbing up. The distant view over the Sodner Au over to Salmünster and the elevations of the Spessart (Schönbornkopf, Kleine Kuppe, Große Kuppe, Haselberg) as well as to the Münsterberg is remarkable.

Stolzenberg Castle is the ruin of a hilltop castle on the 277 m high "Stolzenberg" of the same name, north-east of Bad Soden, a district of Bad Soden-Salmünster in East Hesse.
The listed ruins of Stolzenberg Castle are freely accessible. It consists of a keep about twenty meters high, which unusually protects the attack side of the fortification. The former high entrance at a height of about ten meters, which could only be reached via a staircase, can still be seen, but the modern viewing platform can be reached via a ground-level access and 88 steps. A larger piece of wall, which probably formed the substructure or the rear wall of earlier buildings in the courtyard, is in front of the tower. The ring wall once encompassed the entire castle plateau; its course is only indicated today by the surrounding double moat.
