Historical sources indicate that the castle was mentioned as "castrum Rotenstein" with Bamberg property as early as 1160. However, it was not mentioned in a document under the name Rotenstein until 1209, in a document issued by Duke Leopold for the Baumgartenberg monastery.

Mountain biking

The refuge stands at the foot of the mountain on which the Ruttenstein ruins were built in the middle of the 12th century.
A place to breathe deeply and recharge your batteries was created for every age group.
The newly built log cabin is 700 meters above sea level and is, among other things, an ideal starting point for hikes.
