A castle with a campsite is rarely found. Yet this small, fine one is special among the motorhome pitches. Being mobile is a must here, as there is no catering. But plenty of space for guests in the green. The entire area around the castle is worth seeing.

We were lucky and the hut was open. Sausages, cakes, and coffee are available here at great prices.

Open from May to October, always Sundays from 10 am to 5 pm. During my visit, there was a huge selection of cakes ♥️. But also roast meat with potato salad, bratwurst etc. Prices are really cheap. (As of: May 2026)
