Hiking

Visible from afar, the two castles of Vetzberg and Gleiberg shape the landscape. The first part of the Vetzberg castle complex was built between 1100 and 1150 at the earliest as the second castle of the Gleiberg counts. The ruins of Vetzberg Castle are accessible at any time. To view the tower, the key can be picked up from the Vetzberg Association for a deposit.
