Guided Story
Feel the breeze as you stand here atop the Syberg. Look around, the ruins whisper stories of a bygone era. Imagine it's the year 1100. The castle is bustling with life, knights in shining armor patrolling the walls. Just behind you, a short walk away, is the Vincketower, which once served as a watchtower. Over there, where the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument now stands, tales of heroism and battles were once shared. If you glance northeast, you might picture the old St. Peter's Chapel, a haven of peace and reflection. Each stone here has a story, waiting for you to uncover.
