The Rabenatein castle ruins offer a beautiful view of Riedenburg. The ruin itself is also worth a visit. The ascent is a bit steep in parts and not without problems when it is wet.

Great place for a short hiking!

Bernd Reichenberger (2 years ago)
A great destination for a little trip. Sturdy shoes are essential. The walk from the nearby parking lot takes about 10-15 minutes at normal speed.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
