A nice, wide path, but it's directly in the sun. Too much sun for my taste. I don't walk there on hot days.

Frankenstein Castle was the ancestral castle of the important Franconian noble family of the Lords of Frankenstein, which descended from a side branch of the Counts of Henneberg and can be traced back to the middle of the 14th century in western Thuringia and the Rhön.
