Guided Story

Feel that cool breeze up here? Imagine knights and ladies once roaming these grounds. Look around; the trees that now surround the castle were once part of a dense forest offering protection from invaders. Raffenburg wasn't just a strategic location, it was a symbol of power. Legend has it that in the 13th century, a treasure was hidden here, never to be found. Maybe you'll discover a clue as you explore the ancient walls. Look up, imagine the towering spires piercing the sky. And behind you, those gentle hills that seem so peaceful today were once the scene of hunts and adventures. If you listen closely, you might even catch the distant echo of a horn from the past.
