The ruins have a very special character due to their construction – you can still really feel the connection between nature and medieval architecture.

The Rotenhan castle ruins are one of the few genuine rock castles in Germany and the ancestral home of the important Rotenhan noble family. The ruins are one of Bavaria's most beautiful and impressive geotopes and are freely accessible.
