The Lichtenegg castle ruins are believed to be a medieval aristocratic castle above the Lichtenegg village of the same name. The castle was first mentioned in a document 700 years ago. The castle ruins are freely accessible at all times, and the visit is free. There are showcases with found objects in front of the ruins. When the weather is nice, you have a magnificent view, for example as far as the Fichtel Mountains. Be sure to enjoy the view. There are also tables and benches there to rest.

From the Lichtenegg ruins, you can look out over the Sulzbach and Hersbruck regions. The view is fantastic!
