Hiking

Strictly speaking, the "Old Castle" in Rodalben is not a real castle. Rather, the red sandstone rock massif is a prehistoric refugee castle, which was naturally protected by rocks and a rampart. The trench wall system consists of three consecutive section walls and two trenches, which hikers can still get an idea of today. The facility is located directly on the Rodalber Felsenwanderweg and from the plateau of the old castle there is a beautiful view over Rodalben.

The rampart is a kind of jump that helped to better protect the locals.
