It's not just "a great castle up there" .... It's actually 3 castles that are called "Thuringia's balcony". :-)

The unique ambience and the special characteristics of the Rudelsburg are primarily characterized by its almost thousand-year history. A past that, on the one hand, can tell of many armed conflicts and decay, but on the other hand of an incredible amount of life in the castle courtyard. So it is not surprising that Franz Kugler wrote the song "An der Saale hellem Strande" on the Rudelsburg in 1826 when he took a break during a hike on the Saale. In a similarly romantic mood, Hermann Allmers wrote "There Saaleck, here the Rudelsburg" in 1863 - a song that can still be heard time and again today from the castle keep down into the Saale valley. The Rudelsburg is, as it is today, “a place to rave and drink”. For the history of the Rudelsburg see https://www.rudelsburg.info/geschichte/ There you will also find information about the recommended castle restaurant - in the inner courtyard when the weather is nice.
