    Hiking

    From Wikipedia: The year the Veldenstein Castle was built and the name of the builder have not been confirmed. However, many things point to the Bishop of Eichstätt, who had border fortifications built on the northern border of his diocese in 1008 on behalf of Conrad II.

    The castle was first mentioned in a document in 1269 as "novum castrum" (new castle). At that time, the castle belonged to the Bamberg Bishopric and was the official castle, i.e. the administrative seat, of the Bamberg bishops for the surrounding lands. In 1323 the castle was first called Veldenstein.

    Seen but unfortunately it has not been accessible for a long time because the city or currently has no tenant who maintains the castle and therefore does not grant access
