Beautiful castle complex high above the Altmühltal and Essing. Randeck Castle, built in the 11th and 12th centuries, is one of the oldest castles in Bavaria. The name Randeck is simply interpreted as Rundeck, referring to the one corner formation in the generally round keep. The castle is freely accessible, there is a donation box at the gate (adults € 2). From the keep you have a wonderful view of the Altmühltal and Essing.
