No passage that leads to this "castle", too bad the roads are very dangerous and there is no way to get there by car...

Beautiful ruined castle. Do not do like most of the Zouaves that we have seen, including a hiking club and even electrified cyclists, do not visit the castle itself, it is not safe and moreover it is indicated on Signs. It is precisely the repeated passage of pedestrians and even worse cyclists which is gradually eroding the structure.

A rather daring recommendation from Google that the castle can be reached by car in a few minutes, this is not true, the road up is closed to traffic. It is a good an hour long walk, and some of the paths suggested by Google Maps were quite impossible.

It's a very beautiful walk starting from Boenlesgrab towards Schrankenfels. From the Firstplan the panorama is magnificent over the Munster valley

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
