    The Blumenstein is a typical Wasgauer Felsenburg, which like many others was built in the 13th century. Stairs hewn into the rock lead all the way up to the plateau where a keep once stood. Precisely because the Blumenstein is so small, its plateau invites you to take a cozy snack break. An insider tip.

      A ruin of a rock castle in the southern Palatinate Forest, in the German part of Wasgau (Rhineland-Palatinate). Only small remains of the wall have survived from the castle. It is said to be the highest (highest) rock castle in Germany.

        The Blumenstein castle ruins are one of the highest castle ruins in the Palatinate. Typical Wasgauburg from the 13th century, picturesquely situated on a free-standing rock. Probably destroyed during the Peasants' War in 1525.

        If someone is not quite sure-footed or has a head for heights, it might be better to stay down.
