Although the Stromburg is privately owned (hotel and restaurant - formerly the star kitchen by Johann Lafer), it is still a worthwhile detour for a hike. Access to the castle grounds is free and of course you have a wonderful view from there! Opposite you can see Gollenfels Castle.
More information e.g. at de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stromburg.
The Stromburg was the home of Hans Michael Elias von Obentraut, an equestrian leader of the Thirty Years' War, he is said to be the eponymous for the "German Michel".

The first reliable mention of Stromburg Castle dates back to 1287. The village of Stromberg in the Guldenbach Valley, first mentioned in 1344, developed under its protection.

During the Thirty Years' War, the castle was conquered several times and only destroyed during the War of the Palatinate Succession on March 3, 1689. The shield wall, the keep, a mighty gate tower, as well as parts of the rampart and the Zwinger still remain. Stromburg Castle was the home of Hans Michael Elias von Obentraut, a cavalry leader during the Thirty Years' War.
