Hohnstein Castle Ruins (HWN 98)

Highlight • Castle

The castle ruins can be hiked quickly and easily from Neustadt. It is said to have been built around 1120 and offers an impressive backdrop. It can be visited at any time and an iron staircase leads to the ruined tower, from which you have a wonderful view. There is a very good restaurant just below the castle ruins. If you want to see even more, you should continue to Poppenberg.

Kristinchen’s Cellar (cellar tavern from the 16th/17th century)

Highlight • Structure

Is a bit off the path and is easily overlooked if you don't pay attention to the sign on the beech tree.
