Two information boards (one at the parking lot, the other at the entrance) provide information about the castle and its family.

The visit is worthwhile. The one-hour tour through six rooms of the castle is interesting. Photography is not permitted inside. The count's family still lives in the castle today. Countess Marie Antoinette von Ingelheim even waved us briefly from her private rooms.

A great place to take a break. If the weather turns bad, you can find shelter in this hut. A small poster on the hut provides information about Wilhelm Hauff. There's also a wooden Spessart robber memory game for children.

A Spessart Robber Memory Game is fun for all ages. A nice, entertaining change of pace on a hike.
