Already from the highway A62 you can see the castle drone on a mountain. She was never taken. Unfortunately, a fire destroyed it, otherwise it might have been completely preserved. Tithe barn and keep were rebuilt. The rest is either ruin or new, as the former French. Barracks, meanwhile a modern youth hostel or the geoscope. Twice a year a big medieval market takes place. But also here are always festivals or events. For me, the castle is a landmark of the Kuseler Musikantenland, which you should definitely look at, if you are in the area.

Thallichtenberg towers over one of the longest castle ruins in Germany. The remarkably well-preserved castle complex with youth hostel, restaurant as well as three museums invites you to explore. From the keep you have a fantastic view over the Palatinate mountains.
