Tips

December 10, 2016

Hiking

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.
