Beautiful view all around the Knüllgebirge. Especially through the tower windows.

In the heart of the Knüllwald forest, on a spur below Mount Babloh, lies the Wallenstein Castle ruins. They must have seemed fortified and impregnable in the Middle Ages,
because outside the castle walls, the hills drop steeply on three sides. Today, the castle ruins provide the backdrop for rustic camping adventures: camping in the castle or in the courtyard,
swimming in the charming natural swimming pool, and fishing in the castle pond are all possible here.

Below the castle, there is a campsite that is also open to permanent campers.
The restaurant offers fresh, regional cuisine and hosts fairytale evenings,
where the illuminated castle becomes the focal point.
