The Neideck castle ruins has a vast history. The castle was first documented in 1000. Neideck was attacked during the Peasants' War in 1525, but was not conquered. Around 1737 the marble was mined off of a break on the Neideck to build the Würzburg Residence and the amenities of Gßweinsteiner Basilica, nearby landmarks. In 1996 a rehabilitation project began. Without the cement that was added the ruins would have collapsed.
There are multiple trail heads to take to get to the ruins. I recommend the one on the left side of the split. After that take the second or you can take the third trail that is off to the right. Once you reach the castle explore the variety of outlets that offer views & the ruins that are dispersed across the mountain. In 2008 a staircase was built inside the tower which gives you access to a magnificent panorama of the rolling hills & valley. Take it all in and enjoy the view, because you won't come across many explorers which will make for a peaceful afternoon.
