Heidenschuh

Refuge from the 9th century. The Heidenschuh is said to have been used by the Klingenmünster monastery in the 9th century to protect the population in the event of Norman incursions.

Here is a link to a humorous, albeit scientifically not very robust video presentation of the castle by Norbert Heugel:

Very beautiful rock formations around the Heidenschih with two lookout rocks nearby

beautiful trail also suitable for barefoot running.

A plaque is reminiscent of the ruin, only the stone walls with the entrance remain.

Nice view (even in bad weather)

You can watch a video there via mobile phone. Great thing. Also takes only 4 minutes

Here you can still see the remains of an escape castle

Very nice view in every season

With Landeck, Schlössel and Heidenschuh you have the development of castle construction in Germany on one tour.

The Heidenschuh is a former refuge on the Treutesberg near Klingenmünster.

This fortification is called Heidschuh (name not exactly known) and stands on the northeastern foothills of the Treudelkopf.

Great surroundings with remains of walls and walls and great stone formations. A bench offers a view and there is also a small shelter.

Old ringwall complex, where in some places the old masonry can still be seen.

A small refuge with a barbecue area invites you to rest. A small path leads up from the main path.

The Heidenschuh is a hilltop castle (circular wall) on the Treitelsberg near Klingenmünster in Rhineland-Palatinate. It was built for times of emergency and served as a refuge for the inmates of the Klingenmünster monastery and the population of the surrounding villages when danger threatened.
