    At this point is the presumed (former) location of the Gaisburg - probably one of the castles of the Truchsess von Waldeck (compare Stammheim, city of Calw) broken by King Rudolf in 1284.

    A few heaps of rubble and hewn stones, which are now completely covered with moss, only give an idea that something once stood here. A case for hobby archaeologists.

      Nothing can be seen of the castle. Only heaped up hills are reminiscent of a former settlement. The path through seems like a little adventure in unknown terrain. Beautiful, the sandstone outcrops dominating the gorge.

        There is nothing left to see of the former Gaisburg Castle today. The castle area was used as a quarry and nothing was preserved here.
