    Frankenstein Castle was the ancestral castle of the important Franconian noble family of the Lords of Frankenstein, which descended from a side branch of the Counts of Henneberg and can be traced back to the middle of the 14th century in western Thuringia and the Rhön.

    The Harz hiking couple Alwin (3) and hiking women Claudi (1) met on the terrace of the Frankenstein.

    A beautifully constructed, artificial ruin. Occasionally featuring rust and folk music.
