VR glasses compatible (e.g. Quest 3)
Built around 1200 and probably left to decay for over 500 years. And so there is hardly anything left of this former hilltop castle today. A few remains of the ring wall with a few loopholes for crossbows, a so-called neck ditch (artificial cutting in the terrain that gave the castle a little more protection) that can be seen to the north - that's all that remains today.
Originally it served to guard the old road to the Pack. However, this was relocated in the late Middle Ages and the complex was therefore unnecessary. It was then replaced by the castle Neu-Leonroth a few kilometers away, of which much more has been preserved today.
Help for the tour
The virtual tour is best experienced in full screen (double click on the image or click on the button at the bottom right), on a large PC monitor with headphones or speakers. Simple reconstructions of the former building structure become visible under the mouse cursor (or when touching the touchscreen). Small details are pointed out using information symbols.
At the top right, an orientation plan and/or a map can be activated, at the right edge the music can be set to mute, a compass can be hidden or shown and switched to English.
If you activate the home button at the top of the screen, you get to the aerial photo/overview and back again.
The tour, like all the others, can be experienced with VR glasses such as a Quest 3. Without additional software – simply enter the URL of this page in the browser of the glasses, activate the VR button that is then visible there – done.
