Castle of Arab construction, located near the Tavizna River on the road that goes from the forest to Ubrique. The path begins parallel to the Tavizna River and we must cross to the other bank and climb along a wire fence. The last stretch of your life to the castle is made of small, loose stone and is slippery.

Incredible route, somewhat hard for older people but the experience has been formidable

The views are more beautiful than what remains of the Castle, practically demolished. The ascent is a bit complicated and is not signposted. Good route for hiking but if you don't know it or don't have the Track on an app you may get lost, it is not signposted. It's worth getting to the top.

El castillo está en ruinas.Apenas hay unos cuantos muros en pie.Yo fui allí de senderismo y hay que subir bastante para llegar hasta él

Nice views from the top but not really worth the trek in July. All the paths were over grown and the were all spikey bushes or thorns. We pushed through out of pure stubbornness.

Kakesbeck Castle

Kakesbeck is one of the largest medieval fortifications in Münsterland and the oldest castle in Lüdinghausen. The imposingly grown complex originated in 1120 as a motte, a small hilltop tower castle. After numerous changes of ownership, the castle was extended onto two islands, but it was not until the 14th century that it underwent significant alterations and extensions under the von Oer family. The estate experienced its heyday in the middle of the 18th century, when it covered an area of almost one square kilometre and consisted of five further outer castles in addition to the core castle, which were secured by ramparts and moats.

The well-maintained condition of the castle today is thanks to the late Wilfried Grewing, the former lord of the castle. The foundation named after him has been particularly committed to preserving the property since 2020.
