VR glasses compatible (e.g. Quest 3)
If you visit the Neu-Leonroth castle ruins at the right time - spring in sunny, warm weather - you can be surprised by this romantic and enchanted place. Almost like a fairytale, there is thick ivy growing up all the walls, narrow, open forest paths lead through the complex, the forest floor is overgrown with green, ferns rise up between them. The ruins are freely accessible without restrictions.
Small information about the structure of the building is provided in some corners of the virtual tour (as usual, best done on a PC and with headphones or, even better, with VR glasses). For more information about the history and construction, see the web links below. The tour covers almost every area. Smaller improvements such as a map will follow in the future.
Help
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. Under the mouse pointer (or when touching the touchscreen) some simple reconstructions of the former building structure become visible. Small details are pointed out using information symbols.
At the top right an orientation plan and/or a map can be activated, on the right edge the music can be muted, a compass can be switched on or off and switched to English.
The information symbol displays further descriptions of what has just been seen.
If you activate the home button at the top edge of the image, 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. No additional software required - simply enter the URL of this page in the glasses' browser, activate the VR button that is then visible there - and you're done.
