Osterburg castle ruins

Highlight • Castle

The Osterburg stands a little in the shadow of the Kreuzberg. Well worth a visit, above you will be rewarded with a fantastic view. Take a snack, tables and benches are sufficiently available.

Short walk to the ruins of Osterburg, not much has been preserved. You can do it, but it's not bad if you haven't seen it 😉
