View of the Drei Gleichen Castles

Highlight • Viewpoint

A very beautiful view of the Drei Gleichen (Three Gleichen Castles). From here, you have the feeling you could look down into Wandersleben Castle from above.

Canyon in the Röhnberg, especially marked on the Komoot map. It probably once had a castle. Below the Röhnberg in the canyon, you can still see old ramparts and the required Buntsandstein was probably mined there. …
