From the castle's Caf�-Restaurant one has a great view over Rhine-Main-plains towards the cities Worms, Oppenheim, Mainz and Frankfurt.
Every year at the end of October/beginning of November the Castle Frankenstein becomes spooky. Wafts of mist come about and monsters appear from their hiding places. "Halloween", a professional Monster-Show, draws thousands of people under their spell and give them the creeps.

The castle can be reached directly by car over a winding road that branches off from the� B 426. Public transport brings you to the stop Frankenstein at the foot of the hill. A roughly half-hour walk will�take you to the castle.
