Small castle ruins above the roofs of Neidenfels with a beautiful view of the valley, Neidenfels and the paper factory. There are enough tables and benches for picnics and you can easily combine the ruins with a hike to the Lambertskreuz. Parking is available on site.

Nice scenic place

It is free so the cost benefit is infinite. Nice view to the city from the top, but the way to get there is not so nice, Google maps sent me by a very industrial area.

A very nice place with a great view. Visited on a geocaching tour. Some places to sit down are available and epyou can enjoy the nice area. There is also a Pokémon gym at the castle.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
