Although the original castle's floor plan can "only" be seen on the information board, the square with the exposed walls, the well and the former rampart is still worth seeing! Here you can see that the Lichtenstein actually existed and is not based on Hauff's novel like today's (beautiful!) castle.

Not nearly as well known and overcrowded as Lichtenstein Castle. Nice view and a stone gate as well as several remains of the wall.
