View of Ellertshäuser Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

With its area of 33 hectares, Lake Ellertshausen is not only proud of its size, but also wonderful to look at. You can no longer really tell that this is a reservoir, the beautiful blue blends so perfectly into its surroundings.

View of Mainberg Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Mainberg Castle was originally just a place of protection and defense in the form of a tower, which still stands today. According to estimates, it was built in the years 900-1000 AD. At that time there was still talk of Mainberg Castle. After several extensions, it was only referred to as a castle from 1394. Mainberg Castle was first mentioned in 1245 and was owned by the Count of Wildberg.
