The Kasselburg is the ruin of a hilltop castle on a 490-meter-high basalt rock in Pelm near Gerolstein in the Vulkaneifel district of Rhineland-Palatinate. See: http://www.adler-wolfspark.de/

In 1670 the castle was badly damaged by a lightning strike in the Powder Tower. It was occupied by the French on July 6, 1691, but was recaptured on August 5 of the same year. Gerolstein is destroyed in the process. In 1840 the castle was also known as Jungkernburg. The remaining remnants of the wall were partially demolished in the 18th century and further destroyed in the Second World War. Today only a few remains remain, but they have been restored. Excerpt from Wikipedia

The complex consists of the privately inhabited front castle and the ruins of the main castle behind it, accessible via a wooden bridge, from which there is a good view of Gerolstein and the rocks of the Munterlay.

The steep climb to the castle is quite difficult. A real calf biter! But once at the top you forget it all. Beautiful ruin and the cave is more than worth it.

Super steep ascent and descent to the castle, with the turbocharged e-bikes and be careful on the descent.

Gerolstein Castle, also known as Löwenburg, Gerhardstein Castle or Junkernburg, is the ruin of a hilltop castle in the town of Gerolstein in the Vulkaneifel district in Rhineland-Palatinate. The Löwenburg was first mentioned in a document in 1115, when Gerhard von Blankenheim moved his seat of power to Gerhardstein Castle, which he had built (which is probably where the place name of Gerolstein derives from). In the 13th century, Gerhard IV expanded the castle into a fortified castle with a front and back castle. After the Blankenheimers died out, Gerhardstein Castle passed to the House of Loon-Heinsberg in 1423 and to Dietrich III, Count von Manderscheid in 1468. He divided his property between his three sons in 1488, with the second, Johann, inheriting the county of Blankenheim, Jünkerath, Gerolstein Castle and parts of the Mechernich lordship, and founding the Manderscheid-Blankenheim-Gerolstein line. In 1486 the castle was supplemented by two chapels. In the 16th century the shield wall was built with a thickness of two meters. In 1670 the castle was badly damaged by a lightning strike in the powder tower. On July 6, 1691, it was occupied by the French, but was recaptured on August 5 of the same year. In the process, Gerolstein is destroyed. In 1840 the castle was also known as the Jungkernburg. The remaining remains of the wall are partially removed in the 18th century and further destroyed in the Second World War. Today only a few remains stand, but they have been restored.
