The destination isn't worthwhile. The remains of the ruins are completely overgrown. Therefore, you don't get a complete overview and have no long-distance view.

Buchberg Castle Ruins The first representative of the Puchbergs, who can certainly be referred to this place, was Otto I, first mentioned in 1196. The family originally belonged to the Diepoldinger ministeriality, and from 1204 to the Wittelsbacher. Relationships with the Bogeners arose from the widely scattered family property. In 1301, Hildebrand II sold the last remaining share of the castle to Duke Otto III of Lower Bavaria. The focus of the family's possessions now shifted to southern Lower Bavaria. The ancestral castle is said to have been pledged by the dukes to Rudlant Göttlinger in 1320. It was last mentioned in 1331 during the division of Lower Bavaria. It was then possibly used by the Göttlingers as a starting point for raids and destroyed or abandoned by the citizens of Cham. As early as 1347, grazing and usage rights were mentioned on the Buchberg, and in 1470 forests and a former castle. After its abandonment or destruction after 1331, it served as a quarry until recently. The oval complex, with a total length of 150 m and a maximum width of 60 m, is divided into an outer and main castle. The former occupies the highest peak covered with granite blocks at the southern end of the castle hill. To the north-northwest it is secured by a moat up to 12 m wide with an outer rampart, some of which has been preserved. The egg-shaped interior of the main castle measures approx. 50 x 40 m. The lower western part was protected by a ring wall that made clever use of the terrain, a 17 m long section of which has been preserved. The higher part of the castle was surrounded by its own ring wall, some of which can be seen. The southern part of the area was occupied by a large, multi-room building. At the highest point is the base of the keep. To the north-northwest, the main castle is adjoined by a plateau up to 20 m wide. In front of this is a ditch-like structure about 70 m long. It runs into the slope in the east and leaves the access to the main castle free in the west. Overall, the structure of the complex is not easy to understand due to the heavy vegetation. After 1997, the few remaining parts were secured. Source: Extracts from www.ebidat.de

The Buchberg castle ruins, also known as Schlossberg, are located on a 563-meter-high hill on the Buchberg. The Counts of Bogen built the castle in the 12th century and the Lords of Puchberg joined them later. The castle was destroyed in the 14th century and today only the stump of the keep and the remains of the walls remain.

The castle was the ancestral seat of the Nussbergers, the hereditary marshals of Bavaria. The hereditary marshal organized the defense of Bavaria. He was responsible for the expansion of the castles, the training of men-at-arms and the production of weapons.

From the 11-meter-high tower of the castle ruins, which lie at an altitude of 660 meters, you have a sweeping view of the Bavarian Forest all the way to the Arber, which rises about 30 km to the east.
