A small tour along the "Castle Trail" along a river called Lauter. The
first ruins on the way, St. Ruprecht, could almost be missed if there
wasn't a sign. Not really any walls left. Monsberg Ruins though still
has a bit of a tower, some walls and part of a cellar. The most
impressive former castle is Wartstein with a rebuilt tower overlooking
the valley and the region. The way back was along the river where a
heron tried to fly away from us but constantly managed to fly into the
direction in which we were going so he started and landed at least 10
times until he realized that it would be better to fly upriver.
