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.

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.
