March 17, 2026, Steinach River in Steinach

The Steinach river flows almost level between Steinach and Mitwitz. A footpath and cycle path runs along its banks, with several benches along the edge.

Especially recommended in the early morning. That's when numerous waterfowl congregate here.

Narrow point of the Steinach river. The current is slowed here by large stones. This was necessary due to the straightening of the river at this location.

The former moated castle, with its almost square floor plan measuring approximately 70 by 60 meters, is built on 190 cm thick outer foundation and ground floor walls and consists of a total of five floors. Two round towers rise at the northern corners of the building, their conical roofs slightly projecting above the hipped roof of the main building, thus lending the property a defensive character.
