View of Kloster Banz

Highlight • Viewpoint

A wonderful view with a seating area into the Itzgrund valley, and you can also see Banz Castle and the Staffelberg platform.
The climb up the Bretzenstein is definitely worth it!

From here you have a direct view of Altenstein. The town and the castle are clearly visible from the cycle path, which runs a little higher at this point.
