The trail from Rosenburg to here was really challenging. This view is the reward. Fantastic!
To the runia:
Tursenstein Castle, called Ödes Castle or Stein am Kamp, is the ruin of a medieval hilltop castle. The castle ruins are located on the so-called Kleiner Rundeberg, a towering rock cone, some of which drops perpendicularly to the Kamp, 1.7 kilometers south-southeast of Altenburg.
The Counts of Poigen-Rebgau are considered to be the founders of the castle. The founding can be assumed to have taken place after the defeat of Mailberg (1082). After several changes of ownership, Stein am Kamp Castle passed to Tursen before 1337. In 1337 Reinprecht von Turs received permission to rebuild and expand the castle. In 1396, Duke Albrecht IV gave the castle to Altenburg Abbey, which was able to have the seat demolished in exchange for considerable compensation. As early as 1419, "the desolate place where Tursenstain Castle once stood" was reported.
Only the remains of the walls of the originally triangular castle remain.
