Definitely worth a detour. The castle stands on a wooded hill, and you only notice it when you're standing right in front of it. Very well hidden...

Great well-preserved castle

Can be done as a detour from the hiking trail at a bend in the Ilz. There are small trails leading up from the river, which can be used as a shortcut or to extend the tour.

The well-known local poet Emerenz Meier wrote the dark and depressing poem "The Last Lord of Kaltenstein" about this place: Evening falls on Kaltenstein. A little star twinkles above the battlements. The mist rolls around the tower, which has already defied many a storm. The dark green circle of the firs Rusts its eternally serious melody, which gently penetrates the hall, to the last Lord of Kaltenstein. And down by the row of elms the golden path leads narrowly past. Many hikers pass there, they hurry to their destination of rest. There are many who stop their course and look questioningly up at the castle. No friendly light invites you to the last Lord of Kaltenstein. The forest is large and wild and wide. The maiden asks for an escort. Will no knight then capture her through the dreaded territory? The Kaltensteiner is named in a word, who was once a strong refuge for the weak. She knocks and begs, and then she hears “No!” In the gloomy hall of Kaltenstein. “All of you wanderers, leave me in peace! Go, maiden, without a guide. My castle is rotten, my arm is weak, my heart broke years ago. My family was famous and great, then decay became its bitter fate. Now the last Lord of Kaltenstein dies, forgotten and alone!”

Very well maintained castle. The detour is worth it and if you come over the back, you should plan on having a bit of strength to carry your bike over the stairs.😉💪

If you look up from below, you think it's just standing on the castle wall
