Löwenstein Castle (also called Lindenschmitt and Löwenburg) was first mentioned in the 13th century. The castle was destroyed in 1386 due to robber barons and was probably not rebuilt.

A very beautiful ruin with a wonderful view from both platforms.

Hiking

A visit to Loewenstein Castle is worthwhile, but it is actually just a large foundation made of sandstone. Most of the walls that must have existed here have been removed. In terms of fortification, the Hohenbourg, which is only a few hundred meters higher, is much more interesting, as there are even more remains of the wall.

Hiking

A wobbly staircase and above a shaky and partially ripped railing warn caution during the visit.
From the top one has a great view of e.g. the castle Fleckenstein.
