グレーベナウの洞窟・トップ13

After spending the night here, you'll be treated to a very diverse breakfast selection. I was initially overwhelmed. Everything tasted very good.

Be sure to take the elevator up the tower. The tour guide's casual stories were very amusing and the view from the top is amazing.

The castle in Lauterbach is inhabited by the Riedesel von Eisenbach family.

The town of Schlitz has several castles.

The Vorderburg, which today houses the castle museum and the ballroom of the town of Schlitz, was built in its current form between 1565 and 1600. Its origins go back to the central Romanesque residential tower from the Middle Ages (the base of the tower was built before 1181). The core of the east wing is medieval, while the west wing was built around 1600. Various construction phases can be seen in the central, former residential tower. A porch consisting of an altar and stair tower, traces of which can still be seen, was demolished in 1812, and the late Gothic portal of the stair tower is now located in the garden exit of the Vorderburg tower. The narrow and rear sides of the two wings of the massive building have Renaissance gables. The tower roof dates from the 16th century. A wooden, partly baroque staircase leads to the various floors. The portal decorated with coats of arms from 1565 could be the work of Philipp Soldan from Frankenberg. In 1950, a chime system consisting of 26 bells was installed in the tower roof, which can be operated both electronically and manually. According to the wishes of its founder, Count Otto Hartmann von Schlitz, this carillon is intended to promote international understanding. At 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., folk songs from different nations can be heard over the roofs of the city on a weekly rotation.

In Schlitz you can take a break and take a walk around.

The tower is freely accessible at any time and offers a great all-round view of the entire surrounding area.

The beginnings of the castle date back to 1266. The castle courtyard surrounded by walls and buildings and the castle covered and strengthened the western flank of the city fortifications. The castle courtyard got its present form in the second half of the 17th century. The main building, the castle, the oldest part of which dates back to the Gothic period, was rebuilt and significantly expanded during this period. The building had already been expanded in 1580/81. The beautiful Renaissance portal and the remarkable tubular fountain stand out. Not to be forgotten is the former leaseholder's house, built in even proportions with the magnificently curved gable, as well as the castle gate on the Cent with the same number in the coat of arms. The former weir and defense system has now become an oasis of calm in the middle of the city. Today the castle houses the administration of the barons Riedesel zu Eisenbach and the Riedesel archives. The facility is privately owned. A visit is only possible from the outside. https://pages.et4.de/de/vogelsberg-touristik/streaming/detail/POI/D431823A7C437DB62D2276D6B414E366/burg-lauterbach
