The castle stands on high rocks and can be climbed via a path. At the top there are still a few remains of the wall and a half-torn staircase. However, everything is unsecured and there is a risk of falling!

A few pitiful remains of the wall are all that is left of the former castle. The way to the castle is nothing more than a small trail that is quite steep in places. Since it is only loose forest soil, there is a risk of slipping (and thus theoretically crash risk).

Real adventurers, who will not put off anything, will be rewarded with a beautiful view of the Laufental. The 2 barbecue areas invite you to take a break. There, where once stood a castle.
