Hiking

Beautiful vantage point on the old stone wall of the castle ruins, with a view of the Main valley and the Steigerwald.

Hiking

Unfortunately, there is not much left of the castle, but the wild, jungle-like path to it is worth a look at Burg Schmachtenberg Castle. Make sure to use the Eselsteig at the fork down, a feast for the eyes for nature lovers. TOP 🔝 👍🏼.
