Wysburg Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Great excursion destination near the hall. A bit difficult access, but when you reach the top you will be rewarded with a great reconstructed castle complex. A real insider tip in the region was created with great attention to detail.

Small, narrow and very steep steps with no stopping point lead to the bridge from below. You should only go up if you are absolutely sure-footed and free from giddiness. Danger of falling! Not suitable for small children!
