This is not a pile of rubble marking the ruins of a castle. It is a large complex with multiple rooms, evidence of several levels including a natural ravine/gorge that would serve a similar role like a moat and an extensive outer wall. Considering that it was in full use a thousand years ago it is a fascinating site to explore.

Although there are bigger and more interesting abandoned castles in Germany, this place is still quite nice, especially on a foggy day.

Good place for hiking (beginner level), there is an amazing view from the hill top to the Neumarkt town. Castle ruins is amazing to discover, it takes 1 hour to visit the castle with good view of the town, which is a valley surrounded by small hills. A parking space is available in the field which is free of cost.

Neat set of castle ruins. Free to walk about. Not very large grounds, but cool to see. Would recommend stopping by.

Beautiful, well kept castle ruins. Admission is free, a definite plus. Although, we would have happily paid or made donation for entry, but there was no donation box. We visited in early October of '23. It is a little off the beaten bath, so not crowded at all. Only saw one other couple having a picnic lunch. If you love castle ruins like us, then definitely stop by here.
