Great hiking trail, very beautiful

Right next to the Waldsteinhaus rises a mighty rock face containing the remains of the surrounding walls of the former main castle, the "Red Castle." Stone steps through the castle gate lead to the inner courtyard, which formerly housed various buildings (a gatehouse, a residential tower, and a cistern). The castle was built in the 14th century by the Lords of Sparneck; it was destroyed by the Swabian League in midsummer 1523. In the summer of 2024, the "Red Castle" was renovated and is now open to visitors again.

You should definitely take the Rittersteig with you on the way up to the ruins. Good fitness required 😜

Very nicely prepared castle with a beautiful view of Bad Berneck.

You can see the free-standing front wall of the former pilgrimage church from the 15th century near Neufang. The Heilingskirche was consecrated to the "Three Marys" - Maria Jacobi (Cleophas), Maria Salome and Maria Magdalena. The three women witnessed the proclamation of Jesus Christ's resurrection on Easter morning. Should you take a look.

The church ruins from the 15th century, which stand on a hill near Neufang, are very impressive.

Together with the old castle, the castle is the scene of a medieval spectacle every year. The tower of the old castle is now and then open to the public for festivities. Theater is also performed there.

Old ruin in the forest. Very nice to watch and relax.
