Great place when you're in the neighborhood. The Veste (Fortress) traces its origins back to 1200 ce when the memory serves the right. It has a colorful history. It was once a prison. While it has moat (dry), a train bridge and double gated entry, it was never under attack. The most prominent feature is the tower, called Weisse Ruebe from the locals, in the middle. On a clear day you can see the skyscrapers of Franfurt on the NW horizon. The restaurant serves a great place price at reasonable prices. Great place to visit, I liked it so much, I had a wedding reception up there for German friends and family.
Located on the Otzberg fortress, which is already visible on a mountain. Located in the former commander's house, the castle pots are rustic furnishings that fit well into the old house. The kitchen offers Odenwälder delicacies such as cooked cheese carvings with roasted potatoes, armies knights with wine-foam sauce, rind cucumbers......all very tasty. In summer you can dine outside in the courtyard. There is a small cafe in the museum of the castle.
Momentan (Juli 24) findet eine große Restauration statt, sodass es wie eine Großbaustelle aussieht. Aber wenn es einmal fertig ist wird es sicherlich ein Besuchermagnet werden.
Stopped of here on our Odenwald tour on New Year's day. The midday meal we had was well cooked and presented, tasty and plentiful. I highly recommend a visit.

The castle Veste in German) itself has been described enough I guess. I can not add anything more. Though the restaurant Burgschänke castle...
Mit dem Fahrrad aus Egelsbach angereist. Tolle Strecke und schöne Aussicht. Leider ist die Veste Otzberg in einer Baustelle verwandelt worden.
Zur Zeit wegen Sanierung komplett der Zugang gesperrt, man kann sich die Burg nur von außen anschauen. Zugang bis vors Tor möglich.

Das ist richtig schönes Ort, aber es gibt dort keinen Biergarten oder sowas. Deswegen 3 Sterne.
Ein beeindruckendes Bauwerk, Leider durch momentane Sanierungsarbeiten nicht zugänglich.
