Beautiful ruins even nicer than the castle in Vianden

Castle ruins, mostly locked. If the gate is open, you can enter, but some areas are closed off.

The rocky ridge above today's town of Vianden was first fortified in late antiquity. The excavations carried out in 1994 at the foot of the castle chapel led to the realization, based on the findings secured in a second relocation, that parts of the rising masonry of the late antique tower must have still existed in the Merovingian period, and that this square part of the building was the only remaining structure from late antiquity in the first medieval period System was integrated.At a prehistoric road connection, which led as a branch ("side road") from the great Roman road Reims - Cologne through the Ardennes and the Ourtal into the Sauertal and via Echternach in the direction of Bitburg to the then metropolis of Trier, was built at the beginning of the In late antiquity, the first fortification was built on the Schlossberg, probably as a civilian-used “refuge” during the time of constant Germanic threat (around 275 AD).

Iconic castle. Looks nice on the mountain and overlooks Vianden.

I like to recommend a hike from Vianden to Falkenstein Castle over the ridge. You can't get to the castle. But the way is awesome!

Even if you only get to the gate. The path is incredibly great and recommendable.

The Brandenburg castle ruins are among the most imposing castles. It consists of a mighty upper and a sophisticated lower castle (the basement). The most important areas are easily passable. The highlight of the castle is the freely accessible keep and the deep cellar under the former chapel. And all this without admission 🤩 (Open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.)
