Unfortunately, this is only a temporary highlight. At some point the gaps will be closed and everyone can decide for themselves what impression such a structure leaves behind. It is definitely an engineering feat!

Saaleck Castle

Highlight • Castle

Saaleck Castle is the older of the two castles. It was built around 1050 as a border castle to protect a trade route. It has been uninhabited and derelict since 1585.

View of Saaleck and Rudelsburg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The first mention was in 1171. It was part of the protection of the trade route. It was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War, and has been a ruin ever since. A beautiful cycling destination on the Saale bike path.
