          Beautiful complex that is currently being restored.

            At the back of the castle ruins there is a climbing garden. This offers various tours and difficulties (for beginners and advanced) with bolts and deflectors. Member of the DAV. You climb here with your own equipment and at your own risk.

              Beautiful castle ruins, where unfortunately the top of the large stairs is currently closed due to the risk of collapse

                Very beautiful old castle ruins, the circular route around the castle is very worthwhile.

                  Unfortunately it is currently (April 2024) still closed. But the stairs alone are very impressive. And you also have a great view from there.

                    The right adventure place for children. But not without supervision!

                      The stairs lead to the castle.

                        The path around the ruins is a bit of a challenge, especially when the leaves are falling, but it's definitely worth it.

                                Great, I went up the stairs and then there was a barrier, what a pity. But I had a coffee and a very nice chat with the landlord of the Schloßberg shelter. Maybe it will work next time :-)

                                  Currently (October 2024) the way up is unfortunately still closed.
