Pearl of the Vogelsberg - This is the slogan on vogelsberg-touristik.de/vulkanregion/regionen-orte/birstein.html
Birstein is idyllically situated on the foothills of the southern Vogelsberg with gentle meadow valleys, enchanting forests and crystal clear streams. You can still really enjoy nature here. The picturesque castle stands out on the steep basalt rock above the town.

It is a large castle complex that has served the family of the "Princes of Isenburg" since the 16th century. Visiting it is difficult, except perhaps as part of a guided tour.
