The view of the Rhine plain - with delicious Palatinate specialties - is ALWAYS part of our vacation for us. We have been coming to the Palatinate for many years and our very first trip has often been to Landeck!

South of Busenberg, on the 367 m high castle hill, rises the once proud medieval Drachenfels Castle, which is already striking from afar because of its striking shape. Although it has become a ruin over the centuries as a result of military conflicts, it is still one of the historically most important sites in the Palatinate, according to many archaeologists and historians. First mentioned in connection with a knightly family of the same name in the 12th century, the castle was probably once the border castle of the Benedictine monastery in Klingenmünster. In 1335, because of the robber baronship of its owners, besieged and destroyed by Strasbourg citizens, the castle came to the knights of Dürkheim in the further course of its history, which was to be decisive for the Drachenfels for many years and rebuilt the Drachenfels. A mutual protective and defiant alliance of the Dürkheimers with a certain Franz von Sickingen, who was a valiant knight, led to the second destruction of the Drachenfels on May 10, 1523. Although the Drachenfels was never a Sickingen castle, it was destroyed by the allied troops of the Elector and Archbishop of Trier, the Elector Palatinate and the Landgrave of Hesse. The castellan and eight servants were no match for the superiority and surrendered the Drachenfels without a fight. Subsequently destroyed and razed, a ban on reconstruction was also imposed. The castle has remained a ruin to this day. In the course of the French Revolution, in its history the Palatinate was alternately German and French, the ruins came into the possession of the municipality, which is still the owner of the Drachenfels today. Visit the Drachenfels with its many characteristic rock chambers, with its towers and thickly reinforced shield walls. An overwhelming view of the magnificent landscape of the Dahner Felsenland, where mountain ridges crowned with red sandstone rocks repeatedly rise out of the green sea of forests, compensates you for the effort of the short ascent.

Lots of caverns and passages through the rock, formerly a large stately castle with a very good view of the Wasgau

An absolute highlight of the area. The short ascent via secured stairs is rewarded with an incredible view of the Palatinate Forest and the adjacent village.
