The ruins Wolfsberg was a former high medieval Adelsburg high above the Trubachtal above the village Wolfsberg. Wolfsberg Castle was probably built around 1150 by the Edelfrei von Wolfsberg. The lords of Wolfsberg are documented with Gozpold de Wolfesperch since 1169. It can be assumed that they came from the noble-sex of those of Schönfeld-Gößweinstein. The ruins can be reached from the village of Wolfsberg. Today, the ruin serves for the most part as a viewing platform for visitors. It opens up a wide view over the valley of the Trubachs and the surrounding area.

Remains of the Wolfsberg castle ruins from the 12th century. It was not until 1985 to 1987 that the walls were exposed again and the ruins were extensively renovated. Despite the steep stairs, especially if you already have a few kilometers in your legs, it is worth the effort and you can enjoy the wonderful view of the Trubach valley.
