Small castle ruins. It's worth seeing if you're in the area. Currently being renovated.

A really great surprise, because there aren't that many halfway preserved castle ruins in the Spessart. Of course the 5 stars are relative, because it's not Eltz Castle or something similar. But it's a great destination, I also recommend the restaurants on the Geissberg not far away. Yes, I would like to climb the tower one day, and the construction barriers aren't exactly pretty. But that's just the excavations, it's great that so many people sacrifice their free time here and thereby bring the past to light! Without excavations there would simply be no descriptive panels.

Not necessarily recommended at the moment, there's scaffolding everywhere, rubble, it looks like the restoration is currently on hold. The tower wasn't open either. Only the view of the valley is worth seeing.

Very nice little castle ruins, it has probably only been restored for 15-20 years. It is very easy to reach on foot, there are stairs that almost reach the ruins. It takes 10 minutes at most from the parking lot. The area around invites you to take a walk in the forest.

For free. Something covered by scaffolding but interesting. You can do it if you are nearby.
