There's not much left to see of the ruins.
You can get an idea of what it once looked like. The information board is helpful.

It is unclear when Hohenfels Castle was built, but it is certain that the complex, originally belonging to Prüm Abbey, was already the fiefdom and ancestral seat of a ministerial family in the 11th century.
