    Hiking

    End of October 2016: The castle ruin is again open to walk! Yippee!

    An adventurous-looking wooden staircase leads to the upper castle. From there you have a really wonderful panoramic view. Today over a Palatinate Forest shining in sunlight in the most wonderful autumn colors.

    If you would like to know more about the castle, we recommend this humorous video by Norbert Heugel, a Palatine veteran, who has probably set out to explore all Palatine castles and castle ruins and to document this in his videos. Have fun watching.

    Like almost all castles in the Palatinate Forest, it was built on red sandstones as a rock castle. It was built in the 11th century as a successor to Wiligartsburg and to protect the villages.
    A wooden staircase leads up and then you have a nice view.

    very beautiful rock castle with an adventurous ascent. Unfortunately, at the time of the hike the castle was not accessible due to renovations.
