From the castle Maienluft above Wasungen parts of the ring wall and the renovated keep have been preserved. It offers you a great view of the landscape. You can also dine in the lovingly restored farm buildings in a restaurant and spend the night at fair prices.

More information and opening times can be found at burg-maienluft.de.

Maienluft Castle must have been built before 1150 and was owned by the Knights of Wasungen. Around 1500, the castle lost its military significance and became an agricultural domain. The name Maienluft first appeared at this time. Today, there is a hotel here.

Attention: The castle grounds can only be entered during opening hours. Contrary to the warning on the access road that there is a barrier with no turning possibility, you can drive up and there is even a parking space for hikers!
