The tower with its wooden bridge is a striking feature. Perhaps it was a separate entrance for the nobility, allowing them to distinguish themselves from the common people.

Wernstein Castle is located in the Kulmbach district (municipality of Mainleus) and is considered one of the best-preserved castles in Franconia. The current structure was built around 1365 and expanded into a castle after the Thirty Years' War. It has been continuously owned by the von Künßberg family for over 600 years. As it is a private residence, the castle itself is not open to the public. However, the grounds and courtyard are accessible and a popular spot for photographers. There is an event barn available for rent for weddings and celebrations. Information about this can often be found on the official Wernstein Castle website.

Very cozy little café with a large selection of cakes and tarts

Wernstein Castle, also known as Wernstein Castle, was first mentioned in documents in the 14th century and is one of the most beautiful hilltop castles in Upper Franconia. It has always been owned by the von Künßberg family and consists of a core castle with a lower castle in front. The Lower Castle has a long southeast wing with two floors and a shorter north wing, which was built later. The many small and large towers of the castle complex are striking. The gate to the castle is decorated with coats of arms and leads to the lower castle courtyard, from which the outbuildings can be reached. A staircase leads to the middle castle gate, through which the inner ring wall is passed. The ring wall with defensive towers in the corners surrounds the Upper Castle and forms a kennel. Inside the wall there is a groundwater well and the path leads to the inner castle gate. The owners currently live in Wernstein Castle, so it cannot be visited. The family cemetery of the Barons von Künßberg is located near the castle. Source: https://www.blutana.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten/Schloss+Wernstein-Mainleus-1450.html

The small café in Veitlahm, at the foot of the Patersberg, serves the finest cakes and gateaux, as well as delicious tea and coffee variations. Open Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. (or 2:00 p.m.) to 5:00 p.m.

Made with a lot of love - the little ones don't even notice how steep it is (especially towards the end) 😅

In 1370, the Lords of Künßberg built a "solid" house on the basalt cone of Bärenstein (or Bernstein), from which the present-day castle later developed. It was not until 1764 and 1793 that the lord of the castle had a settlement of 11 "drip houses" built here for his servants, from which the present-day town of Wernstein developed.

The Patersberg adventure park begins at the hikers' car park at the end of Veitlahm, opposite the Waldorf school, and ends at the Patersberg tower. Very interesting and well presented. An experience for adults and children, but not suitable for everyone due to the steepness of the terrain.
