Hiking

A little off the main path, you will find the almost completely overgrown remains of Habichtsburg here in the middle of the forest. On a small clearing next to the old walls, there is a seating area where you can take a break and enjoy the beautiful view.

Hiking

There were never any official excavations at Habichtsburg, however, finds of pottery shards, animal bones, and wall plaster suggest that the castle was built in the 12th/13th century.
