Hollenberg Castle Ruins and Viewpoint

Highlight • Castle

Even if the ascent, pushing and carrying the bike is really difficult, it is worth the effort to get to the Hollenberg castle ruins. From here you have a fascinating view. Unfortunately, the information boards are installed about 100m below.
