From below, you can barely guess the spur castle that once stood on top of the rock outcrop. But on top of the ridge, you can still see some remnants of walls between the trees and rocks.

Hiking

On the west side of the Strahlenfels Castle Hill, a rocky spur branches off about 100 meters to the west, which was used to build a castle. The north side of the rocky spur drops about 15 meters vertically, and the west and south sides also drop steeply, partly interspersed with rocks, also 15 meters. Only the east side is connected to the slightly raised castle hill and had to be protected accordingly. There you can see a presumably natural ditch, which may have served as a neck ditch.
