Our hiking tour takes us into the Steinatal valley. We follow the little river to the Roggenbach castles. This group of castles includes the ruins of Roggenbach (Weißenburg), the south tower served as a lookout tower and the north tower (Steinegg) is 400 metres away. The castle is set in a fairytale landscape and makes visitors dream and wonder how knights and damsels might have lived here centuries ago.
