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.

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.
