The ruin lies on a mountain above the Hohenburg market on the site of the US military training area Hohenfels. Therefore, it officially belongs to the municipality of Hohenfels in the Neumarkt district, not to the Hohenburg market in the Amberg / Sulzbach district. The castle ruins can be reached via a path that starts in the Hohenburg market directly behind the fire station. The castle was built around 1000 in the then Nordmark by the Counts of Hohenburg as a border county, it is one of the oldest castle foundations (probably around 1050, Count Ernst and his wife Pilifrid) in the Nordgau, today's Upper Palatinate. It protected an important medieval trade route. It was not until 1115 that a count Ernst was named in a document, this time expressly "von Hohenburg". burgseite.de/html/hohenburg.html

It is possible to visit the castle ruins at any time, even if it is part of the "military security area", there is a fairly easy path leading up. The last part is very steep, but you can also push the 10m. schwarze-laber.de/freizeit-kultur/burgen-schloesser/burgruine-hohenfels

The castle ruins are located in the US Army training area. But this is dodging the tour of the castle unless a maneuver is currently taking place. Then there is usually a military policeman standing at the border to the practice area and tells you whether you can go up or not.

Absolutely brilliant view over the Lauterachtal and on the other side over the Hohenfels military training area.

Good to know that you can drive up there. Despite the restricted area 😉
