The Michelsburg Castle and the neighboring former provost church of St. Remigius on the Remigiusberg near Haschbach, in the center of the Glan Valley, are the historical heart of the Remigiusland region. The first documented mention of an illegally built hilltop castle dates back to 1127, when Benedictine monks purchased it from a knight named Adelbert. The monks used the stones of the former castle to build the Benedictine provost church of St. Remigi, the remnant of which is the Remigius Church. Count Henry II of Zweibrücken built a second castle out of wood in 1260 – during the inheritance disputes of the counts of Veldenz – after the first male line of counts of Veldenz had died out in 1259. This castle was later expanded and furnished with stone, and a chapel (dedicated to St. Michael) was built inside. In 1543, Count Palatine Rupert of Veldenz made the castle his secondary residence and had a princely crypt built in the provost church. Little is known about what happened to the castle in later centuries, but it was reportedly still intact in 1708 and changed hands several times. In 1868, it came into the possession of the St. Remigiusberg Catholic Church Foundation. Today, the 20-meter-high shield wall, remnants of the palace, the curtain wall, and the moat are preserved.

The Altenburg (Deinsberg Castle Ruins): It was probably built in the second half of the 12th century. At that time, Emperor Barbarossa had several castles built to secure his country's borders. At that time, Theisbergstegen consisted of two towns belonging to different territories. It is likely that the Altenburg was called Deinsberg Castle, as it was customary for lords and knights to name themselves after their castle residence. There is ample evidence of this, for example, Knight Anselm and Servant Heinrich, both of Deinsberg. The castle was approximately 60 meters long and 33 meters wide. The residential tower and gate tower were elevated and separated by a moat, which probably contained a cistern for rainwater. It was probably destroyed as early as 1400.

A quiet, gently ascending forest path leads from Ruthweiler up to the imposing Lichtenberg Castle – one of the largest castle ruins in Germany. The path is easy to walk, shady, and offers frequent views of the valley. Tip: Go early in the morning – then the path is almost deserted, the air is fresh, and the castle looks particularly impressive in the first light. Ideal as an introduction to castle exploration or for nature lovers with a sense of history.

📝 Altenburg Castle is a quiet, historic site on the Potzberg mountain – the remains of a Celtic ring wall, probably dating back to the Iron Age. Today, only the ramparts and landforms are visible, but if you look closely, you can sense how old this place really is. Among the moss, roots, and stones, you can sense the centuries. 💡 Tip: Let your gaze wander and let your imagination run wild – places like these tell stories, not loudly, but deeply.

Nice but unspectacular descent from the castle.

From the castle ruins you have a great view.

The ascent is really tough and very demanding due to the gravel. The descent, on the other hand, is very fast and really fun. Please pay attention to any oncoming hikers. #Mutual consideration

Huge castle complex with restaurants and adjacent youth hostel. Currently being renovated, but almost everything is still accessible. No admission fee (when I was there). Definitely worth it
