    Already at the Schweinsberg car park you have a wonderful view of Rabenstein Castle and the Klausstein Chapel from the summit cross.

        The castle is first mentioned at the end of the 12th century in connection with the noble free von Waischenfeld, before it fell to the burgraves of Nuremberg in 1347 and was destroyed in 1460. Rebuilt from 1489 to 1495 by Konz von Wirsberg, the subsequent owners, the Barons von Rabenstein, converted it into a Renaissance castle in 1570. During the Thirty Years' War the facility was burned down by the Waischenfeldern due to the relationship with the Swedes and was not rebuilt until 1692. After a long period of vacancy and deterioration, another renovation took place in 1829. Rabenstein Castle is now one of the tourist attractions in Franconian Switzerland and is known, among other things, for Northern Bavaria's largest medieval market
