    Natural monument and ruin of a rock castle. Only very little received.

  • The Frankenburg is a natural monument and the ruins of a rock castle in the Südliche Weinstraße district in Rhineland-Palatinate. It lay above the Modenbach valley on a promontory, called Franken-Felsen, of the Frankenberg to protect the road opposite Meistersel Castle.
    There are only a few remains of walls and traces in the rock of the Frankenburg. The rock is on the Frankenberg at a height of 545 m. The outer bailey and the main bailey are separated by a moat.

  • Not very many hikers start the ruin. There is not much left. Nevertheless, worth a detour.

  • The Frankenberg is at 556 m. Here I am interested in the ruins of the Frankenburg. It is a rock castle high above the Modenbach valley. The staircase is still clearly visible, as well as the rocks of the lower and upper castle. The access road to the castle is interrupted by two ditches and used to be spanned by a bridge.

  • There are only preserved rock formations of the Frankenburg. Nevertheless, a nice focal point overlooking the valley

  • The rise of the Modenbachtal is a bit exhausting at the end. Even if there is little to see, it is worthwhile to strike.

  • a small rock with a "peep hole" and two larger rocks; otherwise only very sparse remains of ruins (walls, stairs), which are hardly noticeable!“The early history of this small castle north of Ramberg is completely obscure due to a lack of usable written sources. Ultimately, the time of founding, the founders and their motives are completely unknown.”

  • A signposted path leads from Kohlplatz to the ruins of the Frankenburg, which can hardly be identified from the Frankenfelsen formation. If you hike up from Hüttenbrunnen to Kohlplatz, the Frankenfelsen is a nice destination for a pretty little tour.

  • ATTENTION: some steep passages are not visible through the foliage. Sometimes it goes down steeply: danger of slipping! Climbing on the rocks is also not without danger because of the moss. WALDMANN'S HEIL !! 🥾🥾
