The fortress was built on a mountain tongue on the left side of the Main about 100 meters above the river. The west side is the only flat side of the mountain. On the north side are the gardens and allotments that were created in the course of the State Horticultural Show in 1990. The other two mountain slopes are vineyards. The small slope on the eastern flank of the castle is the Schlossberg, on the southern flank the Inner Bar. Great photo opportunities and views of the city.

It's worth the hike. The fortress itself is a beautiful large complex with gardens, a restaurant and history. The view from the fortress over Würzburg is just as beautiful as the view over to the Käppele. This side trip is well worth it.

A surprisingly spacious complex that convinces with its fortified buildings and the view of the surrounding area. Should not be left out when visiting Würzburg.
