The Dahner castles group consists of the rock castles Altdahn, Grafendahn and Tanstein. All three are exceptionally well restored and thus offer an authentic castle experience. Admission is free.
Below the three castles, the castle tavern Altdahn invites you to dine and drink.

If you plan to visit the Altdahn castles, you should definitely bring more time, because the rock castle ruins are very winding and there is a lot to discover.
There is an excellent all-round view from the tower.
Mostly without admission, but there is also the castle museum (with admission).

Spectacular castles, as base natural rocks are incorporated into the stairs and rooms. On top was still bricked. Half nature half "man made". Absolutely worth seeing

Fascinating to build three castles on narrow space. The visit has a high experience value. From the architecture to the panoramic view of the exposed location just fantastic.

The ladder to the upper tower of the castle Altdahn is not for the faint of heart. Almost vertical and a bit crooked, it goes up in two stages to the viewpoint.

Very nice view from the various castles. From Dahn there are various climbs, from the parking lot at the guest house just follow the paved road up. There are different ways up there.
