Schönstein Castle Ruins

The Schönstein castle ruins are a bit overgrown, but still a worthwhile detour. The ruins are romantic.

The great refuge near Schönau, not far from the ruins of Schönstein Castle, invites you to take a break!

Giant Coastal Redwoods and Sequoias in Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park

Highlight • Forest

Some of the non-native trees that are already quite large - I would say coastal firs and sequoias. Exciting...

The Helenenquelle (not to be confused with the Helenenquelle near Bad Wildungen) pours refreshing water.
Above is a stone with an inscription.
Some benches are at the source, but they are not that inviting 😬.
