Schloss Lichtenstein, Germany
From series “The Most Inaccessible Buildings in the World”
Among the steep and enchanting Bavarian Alps in Germany you can find the strange castle Lichtenstein. The castle lies on the summit of a steep rock, whose height is about 817 meters. The Honau hill, on whose territory the castle is located, is considered one of the most picturesque in the country. Here the inaccessible rocks alternate with the incredibly beautiful forests. At first glance, you can hardly guess how to get to the rocky summit, to the old castle.
The guests of this unique sight first have to climb up the steep stone steps into the mountains, and then go on the Hängebrücke, which was laid out over the ravine. The first defense system was erected on the site of the castle in the beginning of the 13th century. In the course of a long history the castle was twice completely destroyed and rebuilt. At the beginning of the 19th century, the castle belonged to King Frederic I, who used it as a hunting hut.
