The Diebskeller is a beautiful example of how nature and history come together in the Haßbergland region – a place to marvel at and explore.

The ruins have a very special character due to their construction – you can still really feel the connection between nature and medieval architecture.

A journey into history with lots of information on the panels.

The ruins of Bramberg Castle are located within the Haßberge Nature Park on the summit of the 494.3-meter-high Bramberg, an extinct volcanic cone of the Heldburg Gangschar, approximately 2 kilometers northwest of the village of Bramberg, a western district of Ebern, and about 5 kilometers (as the crow flies) northeast of the city of Königsberg in Bavaria. It is surrounded by the Goßmannsdorf Forest. Source and further information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Bramberg_(Ha%C3%9Fberge)

Directly in front of the Rotenhan ruins there are two nice rest areas.

Thieves and robbers are said to have once stayed in these rock cellars. The Bamberg Book of Records records that a gang of thieves hid three stolen horses here in the 15th century. ... in old writings we read: "Large rocks conceal caves that inspire horror with their musty smell and darkness."

The Rotenhan castle ruins are one of the few genuine rock castles in Germany and the ancestral home of the important Rotenhan noble family. The ruins are one of Bavaria's most beautiful and impressive geotopes and are freely accessible.
