    Hiking

    Next to the pavilion there is a lovely seating area with a table under a linden tree; unfortunately the only place to rest at the castle ruins.
    In the open pavilion there are information boards on the following topics:
    - History of Frankenstein Castle, coat of arms and seal, castle sketch (rooms)
    - Annual rings of an oak trunk, various types of wood, local poisonous and medicinal plants, a bird clock, mushrooms on wood

    The Frankenstein Castle ruins impress with their historic charm – their ancient walls speak of times long past, and the fascinating panoramic view is a sight to behold. The view of the train traffic disappearing into or emerging from the tunnel below the castle is particularly charming.

    Interesting pavilion with various information. Also about the history of the castle. You can also take a break here. Seating available.
