    Hiking

    The oldest scientifically researched stone castle in Europe north of the Alps.
    The Urnfield-time Heunischenburg is due to the archaeological research of the years 1983 to 1987 as the oldest scientifically researched stone castle in Europe north of the Alps. The heavily fortified complex served in the 9th century BC. To monitor a copper and tin trade route.

    Hiking

    In the Heunischenburg, people settled in pre-Celtic times - up to 3000 years ago. A place with ancient history on the western edge of the Franconian Forest.

    Hiking

    A small path leads around the castle or on the plateau. With children you can look carefully for further remains and make a short walk interesting.
