    Interesting but little-known castle ruins, which are a little off the beaten track of the Palatinate Forest's hiking routes.

    A visit is still worth it.

    If you want to whet your appetite for a visit to the castle, I recommend the following video by Norbert Heugel. As always, scientific authenticity and archaeological correctness cannot be guaranteed, but an entertaining explanation of the local conditions, which can be understood during your own inspection, is definitely.
    Have fun watching.

      One of the oldest castle ruins in the Palatinate. Almost nothing of her can be seen anymore. Still an interesting sight and climb.

        There is not really much to see of the former castle - here and there some worked rock in the form of holes or steps. Nice view from the top of the rock.
