View of Wartenberg Castle Ruins

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Since the Hesse railway cycle path runs north along the Lauter, from there you always have beautiful views of the Wartenberg castle ruins, which are enthroned on a rock spur south of the Lauter.

Heathland at Am Birkich

Highlight • Natural

Currently again with a small flock of sheep. Either way, this small piece of heathland is extremely atypical for the area and therefore something very special.

View of the Wartenberg castle ruins

Highlight • Castle

This ruined castle, the landmark of Angersbach, stands above the Lauter. The castle was built in the 13th century, but according to excavations, the ancient Romans are likely to have dug storage pits here as early as 200 AD. However, just a few decades after its construction, the castle was destroyed again due to a feud. After that, the ruin served the surrounding villages as a quarry for a long time. The ruins were later recognized as a cultural monument and extensive excavations were carried out. Today the old ruin can be visited, and weddings are even held here from time to time.
