Please do not deface it!!! Below Hartenstein Castle lies the Gudenus Cave, which was carved out of the riverbank and inhabited by Neanderthals during the Stone Age. Traces of settlement dating back almost 100,000 years were discovered there, including hand axes and other tools. Due to historical preservation, the bridge could no longer be rebuilt unless the cave was sealed.

Hartenstein Castle is unfortunately privately owned and cannot be visited. From the parking lot to the castle, approximately 12 minutes. The history of the founding of the Hartenstein lordship and the associated construction is unknown. In 1726, Emperor Charles VI enfeoffed Baron Philipp Ferdinand von Gudenus with Hartenstein, and it remained in his family's possession until 1927. Between 1780 and 1799, Johann Heinrich Imperial Baron von Gudenus used the still usable materials, such as doors and window frames, to build his hunting lodge in Els. At the beginning of the 19th century, the two towers served as granaries. In 1892, physician Otto Pospischil leased the complex and established a cold water sanatorium in the outer bailey, which was rebuilt in 1892/96 in the historicist "castle style." The main castle had long since fallen into ruins. During the Nazi era, the building served as a "youth hostel" for the German Youth Hostel Association (DJH). An attempt to revive the sanatorium by physician Erich Buchmeier after World War II was unsuccessful. In 1993, Peter Kotauczek and his company BEKO took over Hartenstein.

The entrance to the cave is overgrown, which is a pity.

The bridge at the Gudenus Cave has been gone for 2 years. Accessible via stones at low water

The long ascent and descent of the Buschandlwand through the forest is rather monotonous and without a view. At the top along the ridge it gets interesting again and with beautiful views (point and to the north) from the wooden pulpit with seating.
