    We had a pleasant and instructive stay at the Burg Rabenstein with a visit to the Sophienhöhle. The rooms were very comfortable. We have never slept so well. The castle and its history are worth taking the time for the tour and others activities....

    The castle itself was beautiful and the artefacts it held within fascinating. Loved being able to roam freely and explore. Grounds adjacent to nature trails and a majestical cave.

    We joined a tour of the castle before we booked in. It was really interesting to see the historic rooms. Our own room was very large and had amazing views of the valley. The pre-dinner drinks in the fireplace lounge was very special.
