The castle complex is freely accessible and can be visited at any time. From the still existing main castle tower you have a very nice panoramic view of the Gleiberger Land. In the buildings in the castle courtyard there is a restaurant with a beer garden.
Guided tours are offered upon prior notification to the Gleiberg Association.

Free entry. Lookout tower freely accessible. Various seating options to relax. Well maintained facility. Then go down through the city gate and through the old town.
