Tips
Frankenstein castle ruins are located above the Schloßberg tunnel and look out over the village of Frankenstein. It is one of the most interesting fortifications in the Palatinate.
There is still a lot to see at the castle and once a year the geocacher climbers come and clear the castle of ivy and other undergrowth.translated by

Relatively well-preserved, accessible ruin with great views over the village.
