Tips from the Community

Sven aus dem Mittsommer
August 28, 2025, Hüttenruhe Cabin With View of Burg Lobenstein

Good view of Burk Castle, but the view of the valley and the Saale River is somewhat overgrown. However, you can only see the castle behind the high-voltage power lines, which makes it a poor photo spot.

The entrance fee is €2. The turnstile at the entrance doesn't change.
