    Tips

    Between Ruthweiler and Lichtenberg Castle, after the bridge (go up the "Burgweg" street), a path between mythical-looking trees leads up to the castle on the left.

      A quiet, gently ascending forest path leads from Ruthweiler up to the imposing Lichtenberg Castle – one of the largest castle ruins in Germany. The path is easy to walk, shady, and offers frequent views of the valley.

      Tip: Go early in the morning – then the path is almost deserted, the air is fresh, and the castle looks particularly impressive in the first light. Ideal as an introduction to castle exploration or for nature lovers with a sense of history.
