Unfortunately, there were many trees on the trail section today. In some places, it looked like they had been deliberately placed there. Otherwise, it would have been a nice descent

The ruins of Bramberg Castle are located within the Haßberge Nature Park on the summit of the 494.3-meter-high Bramberg, an extinct volcanic cone of the Heldburg Gangschar, approximately 2 kilometers northwest of the village of Bramberg, a western district of Ebern, and about 5 kilometers (as the crow flies) northeast of the city of Königsberg in Bavaria. It is surrounded by the Goßmannsdorf Forest. Source and further information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Bramberg_(Ha%C3%9Fberge)

Unfortunately, I have the impression that the beautiful castle is increasingly in need of renovation.

The Catholic hall church dates from the early Rococo period and was built between 1732 and 1735 under Karl Friedrich Wilhelm von Erthal. It consists of a nave with three bays and a recessed choir closed on three sides and the sacristy attached to it in the east. The ashlar masonry façade in the west, which is divided by pilasters, is covered with a tail gable. Above the roof of the choir rises an octagonal, slate-covered roof turret, which houses the bell tower behind the sound arcades and is covered with an onion dome. The church furnishings date from the time of construction. The building is registered in the Bavarian monument list.

The small church, the village pond and the castle form a unique, idyllic ensemble. The small country castle was originally owned by the noble family von Erthal and was used as a refugee shelter and grain store until it was extensively renovated by the current owners.
