The middle ruin represents the highest point of the Wartenberg. Great panorama

The middle ruin is located on the highest point of the Wartenberg (479 m above sea level) and is well known thanks to the viewing terrace (493 m above sea level) built in 1956 and the fascinating panoramic view. The front and rear castle ruins are often not noticed (anymore). It is also forgotten that this is the only rocky outcrop in the world on which a total of three "fortresses" were built one after the other and not directly connected within a distance of 500 m.

The mighty residential tower (donjon) is clearly visible from almost every district of Muttenz (291 m above sea level) and is therefore the absolute eye-catcher. In 1955/56, the pro Wartenberg society initiated a major reconstruction. The surrounding walls had to be massively increased in height so that the viewing terrace (around 80 steps) could be built.
