Tips
The highest castle in the Palatinate, at 571 meters above sea level, is located right on the border with Alsace in France. It impresses with a very well-preserved upper castle and, due to its height, offers a perfect panorama over the gently rolling hills of the Wasgau.

This typical rock castle is the highest castle in the Palatinate. From here you have a fantastic view of the Wasgau. There are three other castle ruins in the immediate vicinity.

The highest fortress of the Palatinate - demensprechend is the view and also the rise. But the climb is definitely worth it.
In July 2017 a lot of construction sites on the fortress.translated by•July 3, 2017
