The destination isn't worthwhile. The remains of the ruins are completely overgrown. Therefore, you don't get a complete overview and have no long-distance view.

Neuhaus Castle Ruins Neuhaus was first documented in 1254 as the property of "Otto de novo castro." He likely descended from the Sattelbogen family, whose ancestral castle was located a few kilometers east of the town; today, it is only documented as a castle ruin. The name "Neuhaus" itself indicates the status of a later-founded "branch." Originally, the Sattelbogers were ministeriales of the Counts of Bogen, then of the Bavarian dukes. Especially in the 14th century, the family spread to many surrounding castles, including Lichteneck, Zandt, and Thierlstein. Milot and Jakob "von dem Newnhaus" provide evidence for Friedrich Sattelboger in 1320. Friedrich was an influential ministeriale of the Bavarian dukes and guardian of Cham. By 1351, Konrad Sattelboger was the owner of Neuhaus. In 1373, part of the castle passed to Seitz Buchberger, and in 1481 to the Hohenstaufen von Ehrenfels, who administered the castle as a Bavarian Hofmark. In 1573, the Sattelbogen family died out, and the owners of Neuhaus changed frequently during this time. The castle was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War and never rebuilt. In 1829, it was acquired by the House of Thurn and Taxis, now privately owned. All that remains of the medieval castle are the outer walls of the tower-like palace, parts of the rampart, and the moat walls. The palace windows on the second floor have seating niches, making it likely that they were built in the late Middle Ages. To the north, parts of buildings can still be identified today. Based on Apian's depiction, two main buildings with a courtyard between them can be assumed. The ruins lie on a hill, at the foot of which a second circular wall with semicircular towers and a circular moat were built, something probably unique in Bavaria. The moat could have been flooded by a stream. A half-covered, round tower with a wall thickness of 1.5 m stands outside the main castle at the foot of the hill in the moat wall. It is unclear whether it can be considered a keep or—more likely—a later added wall tower. The many modern additions detract from the overall appearance. Source: Excerpts from www.burgenseite.de

Chameregg Castle Ruins The castle may have been built as early as the 12th century; an iron kingdom of Chameregg is mentioned in a document from 1322, but the castle itself is not mentioned for the first time until 1352. At that time, Konrad von Chameregg was the owner; he came from the highly wealthy Chamerauer family. In the 14th century, the Chamerauers assumed important offices for the Duke of Lower Bavaria/Straubing – the four brothers Peter, Heinrich, Ulrich, and Friedrich were chamberlains, captains, vicars, and city administrators. In 1365, they lost all these high offices for breach of trust and revenue evasion. Whether this was justified is unclear, but they were gradually rehabilitated. Later, however, the family's fortunes declined rapidly; the horrendous expenses for representation and luxury could no longer be covered, and debts and mortgages piled up. In 1446, two unnamed Chamerauers were even executed by Duke Albrecht in Straubing for robbery and murder. Like so many other knights during this period, they had resorted to robber barons. In 1452, the last of the Chamerauers, Peter, died heavily in debt, and his remaining possessions went to creditors. Chameregg passed through many hands, perhaps abandoned decades earlier and falling into disrepair – the new lords had moved to a moated castle in the valley. In the 15th century, the Polling family still appears as owners, but then news of it ceases. The castle was renovated in the 1980s. Essentially, only part of the former keep remains of the small castle. The "halved" tower clearly shows how a medieval keep is constructed: four stories with vaults are clearly visible. The entrance is about 9 meters high. The wall consists of a shell of carefully hewn bossed ashlars on the outside, a rubble stone filling, and smaller, smooth ashlars on the inside. The rooms had an area of only 13 m². As usual, the lowest floor was only accessible from above through a so-called "fear hole." The careful construction suggests that it was built as early as the 12th century. In the northwest corner, traces of the wall of the entrance area can still be found, which was probably protected by a gate tower. The complex was surrounded by a surrounding moat, much of which can still be seen. Source: www.burgenseite.de

Buchberg Castle Ruins The first representative of the Puchbergs, who can certainly be referred to this place, was Otto I, first mentioned in 1196. The family originally belonged to the Diepoldinger ministeriality, and from 1204 to the Wittelsbacher. Relationships with the Bogeners arose from the widely scattered family property. In 1301, Hildebrand II sold the last remaining share of the castle to Duke Otto III of Lower Bavaria. The focus of the family's possessions now shifted to southern Lower Bavaria. The ancestral castle is said to have been pledged by the dukes to Rudlant Göttlinger in 1320. It was last mentioned in 1331 during the division of Lower Bavaria. It was then possibly used by the Göttlingers as a starting point for raids and destroyed or abandoned by the citizens of Cham. As early as 1347, grazing and usage rights were mentioned on the Buchberg, and in 1470 forests and a former castle. After its abandonment or destruction after 1331, it served as a quarry until recently. The oval complex, with a total length of 150 m and a maximum width of 60 m, is divided into an outer and main castle. The former occupies the highest peak covered with granite blocks at the southern end of the castle hill. To the north-northwest it is secured by a moat up to 12 m wide with an outer rampart, some of which has been preserved. The egg-shaped interior of the main castle measures approx. 50 x 40 m. The lower western part was protected by a ring wall that made clever use of the terrain, a 17 m long section of which has been preserved. The higher part of the castle was surrounded by its own ring wall, some of which can be seen. The southern part of the area was occupied by a large, multi-room building. At the highest point is the base of the keep. To the north-northwest, the main castle is adjoined by a plateau up to 20 m wide. In front of this is a ditch-like structure about 70 m long. It runs into the slope in the east and leaves the access to the main castle free in the west. Overall, the structure of the complex is not easy to understand due to the heavy vegetation. After 1997, the few remaining parts were secured. Source: Extracts from www.ebidat.de

The Buchberg castle ruins, also known as Schlossberg, are located on a 563-meter-high hill on the Buchberg. The Counts of Bogen built the castle in the 12th century and the Lords of Puchberg joined them later. The castle was destroyed in the 14th century and today only the stump of the keep and the remains of the walls remain.

From the 11-meter-high tower of the castle ruins, which lie at an altitude of 660 meters, you have a sweeping view of the Bavarian Forest all the way to the Arber, which rises about 30 km to the east.

Very well-preserved ruins of the former castle complex with numerous short descriptive boards. Audio guide can be scanned as a QR code at the entrance.

Ödenturm ruins are an easy-to-reach attraction with an adjacent inn in the town of Chammünster.
