For the Gudenau moated castle, see e.g. de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Gudenau

The complex is very well maintained and a detour is worthwhile - this is possible when the first gate at the main entrance is open.

Today I did another very nice tour with @Elfi. The tour started in the pottery town of Adendorf, which belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Wachtberg. After the moated castle in Adendorf, we then targeted Burg Gudenau, which is next to Villip.
Elfi has already written a great commentary on the tour, while I'm already pretty broken. So I'll stop writing …

April 23, 2022,Runde bei Adendorf☀️🌳

A varied round with very nice highlights, especially during the first half of the tour to Villip. From there the path ran over wide paths through the Kottenforst. This section was a bit monotonous until shortly before Adendorf. Overall, there are many beautiful and interesting things to discover on this tour.

Now I have returned to my homeland. Here I went on a nice tour with @Marianne L.🥾🎒, which I always enjoy doing. It went from Villiprott to the two moated castles of Adendorf and Gudenau. Lots of forest was very pleasant today. The two moated castles never cease to fascinate. A film was shot today in Burg Adendorf.

Today we went on another hike in the Wachtberg municipality. We started in Villiprott. We passed the beautiful moated castles of Adendorf Castle and Gudenau Castle. The nature was very beautiful today. It was really cold and fresh, but sunny. We didn't need to take the rain cape with us today.
