Niederhaus and Hochhaus Castle Ruins: The masonry of the Niederhaus ruin is alive. Ferns and some endangered flowering plants such as Dyer's Weld grow here, as well as a breeding ground for rare kites and owls. The Edelfreien von Hürnheim built 3 castles in the Kartäusertal valley at the same time. Castle Niederhaus was built as the ancestral seat and occupied around 1236. After the family split into 3 lines, they called themselves "Edle von Hürnheim-Niederhaus" here. The second family branch called themselves "Edle von Hürnheim-Hochhaus" and occupied Hochhaus Castle, located southwest on the opposite mountain spur. The third line – "Edle von Hürnheim-Rauhaus" – occupied Rauhaus Castle above the slope north of Christgarten.

A fantastic highlight of the tour. The path leads from the top, practically through the castle ruins, down to the pond :-)
