Only a few remains of the former stronghold. A beautiful place with a wide view of the North Palatinate mountains. More information about the history of the castle can be found here: de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Ruppertsecken

From the castle "Ruppertsecken" ("Ruppertsecken"), which was built around 1200 on the Schloßberg and destroyed in 1470, only a few remains of the foundations have been preserved; the tower was rebuilt. From here you have a magnificent view of the Donnersberg and the Appelbachtal.
