    How beautifully clear some names are. In any case, Birkenfeld should be called that because a striking birch population once attracted attention. And so the Franconian settlement was first mentioned under this name in 981 - a church document shows that the place has existed since 700.

    In any case, Birkenfeld Castle is an impressive contemporary witness, although it was first mentioned in a document in 1293. Individual buildings such as the castle gate and the observation tower are still in good condition. The old castle tower still offers a wonderful view over Birkenfeld and the high forest.

      Neither the ascent through a residential area, nor the "castle remains" worthwhile. But the view of Birkenfeld, which can be enjoyed from the last standing tower of the former castle, is great.

        From the observation tower I have a beautiful view of Birkenfeld and the surrounding area.
