The Castle Association is equipping the Raimondosteig, a loop hiking trail around the Hohenegg castle ruins, with information boards about the castle’s history and also inviting the residents of Hafnerbach to submit their ideas for coming up with and elaborating topics. Franz Pötscher from the office for museum concepts and consulting is supporting the process because the outcomes should also flow into the new local history museum.

The Hohenegg Castle Association has dedicated itself to the castle ruins for many years. It takes care of maintenance work at regular intervals to ensure that the buildings will continue to stand for many years to come. The castle ruins can be used for events and serve as a backdrop for the performances of regional and national groups, such as theatre groups. The Hohenegg castle ruins are also a very popular destination in the region for day trips. Hikers will find the starting point for numerous loop hiking trails there as well as the connection to the Dunkelsteinerwald-Runde. The Raimondosteig, which was created in 2014, will be made more appealing by the proposed project and become a popular excursion destination for day-trippers and locals alike.
