There are several rest areas and an overview map of regional hiking trails at the large car park in Greifenstein. There is also a beautiful view of the castle.

Hiking

Castle visitors should park here at the entrance to Greifenstein. There's a large gravel parking lot, a rest area, and information boards about hiking routes. It's about a 10-minute walk to the castle.

Addendum: I don't know why the Komoot editors simply changed a name when their new name is completely misleading!!! The parking lot is at the entrance to the village, not at the castle. You still have to walk to the castle, folks!
