      Ruin with an open-air stage and a restaurant. Apparently popular biker meeting point.

        The Falkenstein Castle is the ruin of a hilltop castle from the Middle Ages above the village of the same name Falkenstein am Donnersberg, the highest point in the Palatinate.

        A first mention from 1135 refers to Sigbold von Falkenstein and not to the castle.

        In 1647 Falkenstein was besieged, stormed and razed by the French. In 1794 it was again destroyed by the French during the coalition wars, since then the Falkenstein Castle has been in ruins, some of which have been restored since 1979.

        The keep, remains of the outer walls of the knight's house, the shield wall, the curtain wall and the cistern are partially preserved.
