After a pleasant, cool climb through the forest you reach the Burghalde with the Grimmenstein castle ruins. A wonderful view opens up of Lake Constance and the three neighboring states.

Very beautiful ruins, high above the Rhine Delta and Lake Constance. Above there is a nice viewing point and rest area with tables and benches.
