The Hinterfrankenberg castle ruins are a fascinating destination for anyone who wants to combine history and nature. The remains of the former castle are idyllically situated on a hill and offer a great view of the surrounding landscape. Although only ruins remain of the castle, you can feel the breath of times gone by here. The old walls, some of which have been reclaimed by nature, are particularly impressive. Sturdy shoes are recommended as the paths to the ruins can be uneven in places. A visit is particularly worthwhile for history buffs and hikers looking for a quiet place to linger. Don't forget to bring your binoculars - the view is worth it!

Around Frankenberg Castle there are impressive metal sculptures made of welded elements. These works of art are not only exceptionally designed, but also blend harmoniously into the surroundings.

Anyone with an eye for detail will appreciate the artistic workmanship and the ideas behind it. Perfect for art and nature lovers alike

The castle cemetery is a quiet and historic place that exudes a special atmosphere. Here you will find old gravestones and monuments that offer exciting insights into the history of the region and former noble families. The artistic inscriptions and decorations that tell stories from past centuries are often particularly impressive. Anyone looking for peace and quiet or interested in history should plan a visit. A short walk through the castle cemetery invites you to reflect and discover - ideal for a short break

Hinterfrankenberg Castle Ruins is an interesting place

Hinterfrankenberg Castle is the second castle on the Frankenberg, next to Frankenberg Castle (Vorderfrankenberg Castle). Both structures are only about 62 meters apart. Hinterfrankenberg Castle is the older of the two structures. At its maximum length, the castle was 230 meters long. The castle area was protected by several outer castles and ditches. The actual main castle consisted of a ring with five towers. A round keep stood free in the castle courtyard. After it was used as a quarry in the 19th century, the double tower, two vault remains, the formwork of a well and a single wall remainder have been preserved.
