    Fairy-tale stay in a super cool castle.

    There is nothing to complain about, really. As said, it is a fabulous place. The parking is a couple of hundred meters away, but it is understandable as parked cars would really destroy the view of the castle. One can drive closer to leave and pick up luggage, so not really a problem. But, OK, one thing I would like to complain about is that several of the castles we visited on this trip, this one included, are becoming overgrown by thick vegetation, from high grass to trees. This obscures the views both to and from the castles, as well as does not give an impression of the sites being well kept.

    Me and my son made a tour around Fränkische Alp to look at castles and other historical landmarks. We also stayed in some of the castles. We were focusing especially on castles with a more "medieval" appearance rather than later palaces. Burg Rabenstein is really a dream castle if one likes these things. It has very spectacular looks on top of a cliff. It has amazing interiors that make you feel like moved in time. In addition to this there is also possible to eat quite high-end food for a reasonable price level in the castle restaurant. And the list of wine and spirits was very complete, and sitting there sipping on a good whiskey in a leather chair after the dinner was very relaxing. My teenage son was by then spending the time in the huge bathtub of our room. Altogether it really felt as we were some royalty in the past. The breakfast was also great, and the location is perfect for hiking in the surroundings. Only a few hundred meters away is an amazing cave with beautiful rock formations and remains of cave bears.

    check in was a little problematic. the code given did not work, and I had to call to get buzzed in. Also I had sent a question, but never got a response. If any Americans are planning on staying there, just know that the clothes dryers there aren’t not like the ones in the States. They do not use heat, so it takes a long time to dry. I assume it’s due to their energy crisis.

    it was clean, plenty of room, and in a great location.

    Not being able to stay for longer!!

    Beautiful location, set on a high vantage point. Our room was large and well equipped. The breakfast was more than adequate with options of fruit, cereal cheese and meat with also offer of cooked as well. There are numerous walks around the castle, which were extremely interesting. .views, caves etc. Also right next to the castle is a Falconry centre also a large cave that does guided tours every hour or so.

    OK it’s a castle but the wifi really should be better. Also, all the information we found about our accommodation was in German. It would really help to have another language (the restaurant evening menu was thoughtfully provided to us in English, so it should be possible).

    Location is amazing, peaceful. atmospheric and authentic castle living. Evening meal excellent. Views to die for.

    The Beergarden inside the premise closes at 18.00hrs. The restaurant inside the castle requires prior booking. And nearest villages are 4 to 6km away. So plan well your evening dinner in advance. There are limited or no options if you do not plan.

    The location and surrounding is excellent and staying in such a historic castle like this is a great experience. The staff at reception is very good.

    I liked everything, no complaints. Only thing that it's probably difficult to get to without a car.

    Like staying in a medieval fairytale. Right on top of a hill surrounded by an ancient forest. The staff were also very helpful. The restaurant was closed on a Monday but we could drink beer on a secret terrace in the oldest part of the castle from the 13th century. Breakfast was extremely good with everything you could ask for.
