メルズンゲンの洞窟・トップ19

A beautifully maintained complex: the castle, the rose garden and a steep but beautiful climb from the city center to the very well-preserved castle. There is also a wonderful view of Spangenberg.

The all-round view from the castle and the tower is simply great!

Very steep when you get to the top, there is a wide view of the round to Gudensberg
