The Rodenberg castle ruins offer various trails for the brave.

But even those who do not like it that demanding should drive the steep but great path and marvel at the remains of the castle.

The castle ruins are located on the local mountain near Rotenburg a. d. Fulda. A path leads from the parking lot at the cardiovascular center to the castle ruins. The former castle had the dimensions of the Wartburg. The castle complex was very large with an area of about 110 meters by 40 meters. Today only parts of the ramparts, which are up to 6 m high, the remains of the moats and the rest of a curtain wall are preserved. Little remains of the north-eastern larger tower.

The castle was first mentioned in 1170, and the first Rotenburg castle men were mentioned in 1170, 1182 and 1197. The castle was destroyed in the Star Wars, the armed conflict that broke out in 1372 between the Knights' Association of the Stars and the Landgrave Hermann II of Hesse. In a deed of atonement from 1389 it was determined that the castle should no longer be fortified. It then fell into disrepair, but was probably at least partially habitable until the 16th century, when it was owned by Messrs Trott zu Schwarzenhasel.
