The Spornburg was first mentioned in a document in 1285. Its builder, Wilhelm Bossel II. Vom Stein, who came from Oberstein an der Nahe, had to grant the Count of Veldenz the right to open his castle in the document. After the von Stein family died out, the castle passed to the Counts of Veldenz. In the middle of the 15th century, the dukes of Pfalz-Zweibrücken acquired the castle and the rule of Nohfelden. Up until the French Revolution, the castle was the seat of a bailiff from Zweibrücken. In 1490 the castle witnessed one of the saddest chapters in the history of Pfalz-Zweibrücken. After the death of Duke Ludwig the Black, his sons Kaspar and Alexander had ruled together for a year when Alexander had his older brother forcibly deposed. He was brought to Veldenz Castle and remained there - even after his brother's death - until his death in 1527. In the many wars of the 17th century, the castle was not unmolested, but was always maintained. Duke Friedrich died in 1661 at the castle. In 1804 the castle was declared French national property and sold to the Cetto brothers from St. Wendel. After that, the castle complex, which was now used to procure building materials, fell into disrepair. Today's owner of the castle ruins is the municipality of Nohfelden. Source: Text Wikipedia

The bear path forked about 450 meters earlier. If you want to go to the viewpoint, you have to climb to the right and climb a few meters again. The view of the castle is worth it!
