The remains of Günzelburg Castle are located on a wooded ridge not far from the Lone Valley. Today, only a few fragments of the walls remain of the former castle, which was presumably built in the early Middle Ages. Its location suggests a former defensive function. The site is accessible via a footpath and offers beautiful views of the surrounding area. Information panels on site provide insights into the history of the complex and previous archaeological investigations.

After a few steps you stand on a kind of plateau with a wonderful view of the valley. Bench for a rest including panorama included
