description

The castle site is located at 494 m above sea level protruding from a mountain corner to the south . NN high spur , and is cut off from the adjacent mountain by a neck ditch with a subsequent wall. This trench is still up to five meters wide, followed by a 60 meter long wall with a width of eight meters and a height of 1.8 meters. The jump height (height difference between the bottom of the trench and the ridge) is 2.6 meters. The wall is strongly curved in the east, but only weakly on the west side. It consists of granite gravel , its height decreases towards the ends. In 1950, it and the ditch in front of it were leveled over a length of 20 meters in the middle when an inn was built. The restaurant has since been torn down again.

Today the site is registered as a ground monument D-3-6338-0007 "Medieval Castle Stables" by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation .
