The Straufhain castle ruins are of course attractive in every season. There is no doubt that they are a popular destination. Mountain peaks have always attracted people. Here, nature is combined with history and the experience of looking into the distance. The Straufhain Friends Association has already achieved a lot, hut on the way up, Straufhain hut on the summit, or Wetterstein.
Enjoy the view and don't leave any rubbish behind.
