Small castle ruins above the roofs of Neidenfels with a beautiful view of the valley, Neidenfels and the paper factory. There are enough tables and benches for picnics and you can easily combine the ruins with a hike to the Lambertskreuz. Parking is available on site.

Nice scenic place

It is free so the cost benefit is infinite. Nice view to the city from the top, but the way to get there is not so nice, Google maps sent me by a very industrial area.

A very nice place with a great view. Visited on a geocaching tour. Some places to sit down are available and epyou can enjoy the nice area. There is also a Pokémon gym at the castle.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
