Hiking
The ruin Ochsenstein is distributed in several parts of the Schlossberg. The iron ladder and the short tunnel through the rock are spectacular. The view from the broken keep of the main complex of the ruin too.

The ruins are impressive to see from below. Spectacular if you take the time to go up there and admire the views from the old keep.

The castle complex consists of three individual structures, each built on a rock (large castle (southern castle), small castle and Wachelheim). The name Wachelheim later referred to the small castle and northern castle (formerly Wachelheim).
