Hiking

Below the ruin Gräfenstein is the parking lot and there is also the PWV-Ritterstein No. 52 "Schäferei". As the name implies, here was the place where the sheep farm was built for the castle. Of course there was also a hut for the castle shepherd here.

At this point once stood a sheep farm which belonged to the castle Gräfenstein. In a sheep farm sheep are bred and used. You win milk, wool and meat.
