Built of stone, high above stands the castle that once belonged to the counts. Derelict, forgotten – but now reborn, Hohenstein is once again becoming a magnificent castle. Once a knight's palace, now a ruin – but what a wonderful viewing platform! If you don't stop here, it's your own fault – the castle has charm, history, and patience.
