Rittergut Positz

Highlight • Historical Site

Positz, already mentioned in the 12th century, has been preserved and restored - and the kitchen is good. It is always open on weekends

Schloss Oppurg

Highlight • Castle

An investor has hijacked the beautiful castle and is opening his hotel in the summer. Entering the construction site is prohibited! Also the grounds, but since everything was open, I walked around the house once.
