description

From the former prehistoric and early historical ramparts, only two short ramparts and moat remains have been preserved.

On the heavily structured plateau of the Franconian Alb , the Hainsburg massif runs east into a long nose that ends in a jagged rock ridge. The steep slopes on the north and south sides merge into vertical rock faces in front of the ridge. At the beginning of these falls, 100 m in front of the ridge, a barely visible section of wall blocks the inner surface, interspersed with large rocks. 40 m in front of him there is a 23 m long stone wall with a trench. On the south side it is cleared of a path, on the north side it leaves a gap of 1.5 m for the original gate up to the steep drop. The wall is 7 m wide and 1 m high inside. The height from the bottom of the trench to the ridge is 1.8 m.
