Hiking

The Burgstein fortification was a medieval structure built on a rock. It had a total length of 314 meters. From here, you can enjoy a magnificent view, and there's also a hut for resting.

Hiking

This is where the Burgstein fortifications once stood. The total length of the complex - including the ditches - was 314 m. Close to the information board, it is worth walking the few metres to the main castle on the south-western tip to enjoy the view of the Langenau valley.

Nice rest hut above, if you continue you will find a great viewing platform. There you will find the peace to switch off
