This gray, age-old ruin is called "Mauerschädel," meaning "uninhabitable ruin." The people's imagination has always been preoccupied with this ruin, and in 1891, the blind legend collector Chr. Ludwig Wucke recorded the following legend: Filke was once a large town, stretching from Oberfilke to the now-vanished old St. Peter's Church and the village of Willmars. It was crossed by three streams and had over 300 bakers and the first Christian church in the area. The bishop baptized the pagans there. Its remains form the "Mauerschädel." Indeed, the legend is supported by the fact that a large number of now-vanished settlements once existed in the area around Filke. The ruin lies directly on the border between Thuringia and Bavaria.

Beautiful to look at, unfortunately we weren't allowed in and there was no information about when it would be possible.

Mauerschädel (Skull of the Wall). A medieval remnant of the village of Bischofs. An open-air service is held there every year. The atmosphere is fantastic, beside the Schmerbach stream. Friedhelm Korell's bratwurst and Erich Hofmann's roasted pork roasts are absolute favorites. It's practically an insider tip!

Well-preserved castle complex in Bad Neustadt. Since the castle is privately owned, many parts can only be visited during a guided tour.

The chapel is part of the Salzburg that is open to the public. Since the castle is privately owned, many parts can only be visited during a guided tour.

This is a really large and really well-maintained ruin. The climb is short and sweet from Henneberg. There is also a path around the complex. It is definitely worth a walk

For German Heritage Day, Bibra Castle opened its doors to visitors. There were guided tours of the grounds with interesting facts, followed by coffee and cake... what more could you want?! Perhaps an overnight stay in the castle? No problem, there's room for 17 people.

The Salzburg is privately owned and cannot be visited from the inside. However, you can access the inner courtyard and the small church. In the inner courtyard there is a restaurant (Italian) and parking spaces for their visitors. You can walk all the way around the castle from the outside. You will always have beautiful views of the castle, but less of the surrounding area.
