Burgruine

The remnants of the Neidenstein hill fort stand at 410 meters elevation, featuring portions of surrounding walls and a three-story residential structure.

The castle, constructed in the 15th century by the lords of Aufseß, endured destruction during the 1525 Peasants' War and subsequent rebuilding efforts.

Archaeological investigations at Burgruine Neidenstein reveal medieval construction methods and daily activities of the noble families who resided there.

Multiple hiking paths connect to the castle ruins throughout the year, with winter visits offering clearer access due to reduced vegetation.

The fortress remained functional until 1652, when documents began referring to it exclusively as ruins following extensive damage in the Thirty Years' War.
