The historic Trausnitz Castle sits enthroned above the idyllic Pfreimdtal valley. Frederick the Handsome was imprisoned here from 1322 to 1325 after losing to his cousin Ludwig the Bavarian in the dispute over the throne. Today, Trausnitz Castle is a popular youth hostel and can be visited on regular guided tours.
