From the Roggenbach parking lot, walk about 800 meters along the edge of the forest to the first castle ruins. The path up is very narrow and overgrown. Nevertheless, this castle ruin is worth seeing, the second ruin only has a tower, not accessible and hard to get through because everything is overgrown...., about 1.3 km from ruin one.

Beautiful castle ruins near Bonndorf. Perfect for a hike from Wittlekofen down into the valley. On nice days, however, the motorbikes are incredibly loud. Recovery is therefore only possible to a limited extent.

Beautiful castle ruins from the 12th century easy to reach on foot

Was a little disappointed. The path was very difficult, uneven and overgrown. Was a challenge.

Unfortunately, we were only able to visit one of the ruins of the Roggenbach Castles (Roggenbach Castle) because the paths to the other were closed. The access road was extremely overgrown when we visited and in some places the path had slipped a bit. We had actually expected a somewhat larger ruin. It wasn't a comfortable place to rest either.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
