    From this vantage point, which is almost directly on the way, one looks directly at the castle hill, on which the only remains of the castle Winterburg can be seen in the form of some brick walls or foundations.

    Winterburg Castle in Sponheim was built in the late 13th century. The castle of the Sponheimers survived a feud with Archbishop Balduin von Trier and the Thirty Years' War, but not the wars of conquest of Ludwig XIV against the Palatinate in 1689, but considerable remains remained. In 1839 the huge tower fell into the valley and damaged the schoolhouse, so the ruins were torn down to be on the safe side.
