The Burgstall Altes Schloss was an aristocratic castle, probably from the High Middle Ages, west of the village of Düsselbach in the municipality of Vorra. The stables of the hilltop castle are freely accessible and, with restrictions, serve as a vantage point. The Burgstall is located directly on the hiking trail with the horizontal yellow line marking, the path leads directly past the rock, but there is not much to see.

Summit without a cross; but good for a leisurely break on a rock.
