description

The castle site is 700 meters west-north-west of the Catholic parish church of St. Nikolaus von Haag over a river ford on a spur-like and west-north-west facing foothill of a plateau of the Bavarian Forest , which comes from the valley of the Staffelbach and from that of a small brook that comes from Haag into the Staffelbach flows, is formed. The valley of the Staffelbach runs on the north side of the Burgstall in a westerly direction, then turns to the south and also flows around the west side of the Burgstall. The south side is bounded by a deep indented valley of a nameless brook, which flows south to the Kaindlmühle shortly before the confluence . The castle complex was naturally well protected against approach on three sides, access was only possible on the slightly rising east side.

The castle site at around 405  m above sea level. NN height has an irregularly polygonal interior with a diameter of 30 meters. This inner surface is surrounded by a ring trench , the depth of which is still 2.5 meters. As an additional obstacle, the moat is preceded by a wall that merges into the slopes of the castle stable. This marginal wall shows interruptions of unclear timing in the northeast, west and southwest. On the most endangered side in the east of the fortification, the wall increases in thickness and thus protects the attack side of the castle. As a further obstacle to the approach, there is a second, curved ditch in front of the rampart in the east, which ends in the slope at both ends.
