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

    Hiking

    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.

    Hiking

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