    Alt-Erfenstein was abandoned in 1380 and was then uninhabited.
    Today there are only a few remains of the wall and the associated boulders, which are slightly above the (successor) Erfenstein Castle; in front of it is a single rest bench on the hiking trail

        The view from Alt-Erfenstein is even more beautiful than from Spangenberg Castle. The small detour is worth it, even if there is only one table with two benches.
