Hiking

If you visit the Ahlsburg, you will only find the ruins of the Reichs- und Höhenburg. You can only see the remains of foundations, foundations and the moat. It is believed that it was built in the 12th century, and it was first mentioned in 1357. The lords of the castle were responsible for protecting the Reichsbann forest in the area.

Hiking

There are only a few remains of the medieval castle complex. A few foundations and foundation walls of the keep and a larger building clearly visible that the stones were walled with plaster of paris.

Even if there is no stamp up there, there is still a lot of history to look at.
