The castle Schönecken is the ruin of a mountain castle at 467 m above sea level. NN above the eponymous local church Schönecken in Nimstal in the Westeifel in Rhineland-Palatinate. The castle stood on the lowest ridge in the middle of a basin. The complex is surrounded protectively on all sides by higher mountains

Hiking

In the Eifel there are quite a few places where, according to the legend and the actual testimonies, the Franconian past is more present than almost anywhere else.
Of course, this also applies to Schönecken and its castle, which dates back to the first Carolingian.
