A beautifully restored castle complex, towering high above the town. Unfortunately, it's not accessible.

Nestled on a small hill in the Birkigt district (Unterwellenborn, SLF-RU), the charming Evangelical Lutheran village church stands amidst rural tranquility. It is located on Heideweg and is a harmonious stopover on rural tours.
