In general, there are numerous sights in Altenstein.

Hello everyone ♥️,
A special hike awaits you in beautiful Maroldsweisach. Next to the Altenstein church, the nesting aid, the castle ruins and the thieves' cellar await.

A touch of nostalgia meets enchanting nature. Of course, my beloved rock formations shouldn't be missing 😉 .

Absolutely worth seeing and an absolute hiking tip for young and old 🥰.
