The whole route today was really nice to walk and the castle ruins …

Easy tour, for everyone. Only the castle ruins we could not visit. Large car park at the start/end point. Stop at the Sammüller mountain inn (reservation is better)

March 3, 2025,Runde um die Burgruine Wolfstein bei Neumarkt

We started the tour in the most beautiful March weather at the car park at the Wolfstein castle ruins. The path first led along a meadow before going down the mountain into the forest. It led back through Schafhof and up to the castle. Of course, a stop at the summit cross and at the Krähentisch must be planned.
