There is not much to see of the castle ruins either, except for a tower (keep) that you can climb and from where you have a great view of the surrounding area.

Falkenstein Castle is the ruin of a medieval hilltop castle (Reichsburg) above the village of the same name Falkenstein on Donnersberg in Rhineland-Palatinate, the highest elevation in the Palatinate. A first mention from 1135 refers to Sigbold von Falkenstein and not to the castle. He belonged to a family that probably belonged to the Imperial Ministry and died out at the beginning of the 13th century. There was probably a family connection with the Lords of Bolanden. In 1233, after a division of the family property, Philipp von Bolanden called himself "von Falkenstein" and thus founded this Bolander line. After the Imperial Chamberlain of Münzenberg died out, Philip I became Imperial Chamberlain and in 1255 he inherited the bailiwick in the Wetterau. Lich later became the center of the domain of Philip I of Falkenstein. In the middle of the 14th century, the Falkensteiners built Neufalkenstein Castle in the Taunus. Around 1500, Uhland I took over the castle rights and further expanded the castle. The descendants of Uhland I acquired Bertholdstein Castle near the town of Fehring in Styria (Austria) and subsequently settled there. In 1647 Falkenstein was besieged, stormed and razed by the French. In 1736, Falkenstein Castle and the County of Falkenstein came to the Imperial House of Habsburg. In 1794 it was destroyed again by the French during the coalition wars. Since then, Falkenstein Castle has been a ruin and was partially restored from 1979 onwards. (Source: Wikipedia) You have a beautiful view from the castle as well as the castle from all sides. It's also nice that you can explore and walk around it completely.

Very pretty castle ruins that were built on a volcanic vent. It is freely accessible, even now during C times. If you come out of the forest below at the bell tower / cemetery, you have a great view of the castle, but then you have to take a steep road up to the ruin (25%), it is practically in the middle of the village. There is also a castle tavern, currently only to-go, of course. In the castle there are also some nice seating areas for a rest.

About one kilometer north of Wolfstein is the Alt-Wolfstein castle ruin, also known as the "Old Castle". A walk there is worthwhile if only because of the wonderful view that you have from the 20 meter high, five-sided keep over the Lautertal. The castle is said to have been built in the 12th century to administer and secure the kingdom. At the end of the 13th century the Counts of Sponheim sat here; they were followed as owners by Veldenz, Baden and Pfalz-Zweibrücken. In the Bavarian-Palatinate War of Succession, the fate of the castle was finally sealed in 1504. It is interesting that during excavations between 1960 and 1975, an extensive lower castle was found next to the small main castle.

Neu-Wolfstein Castle was probably built in the first half of the 14th century. In the course of its history it changed hands frequently: Sponheim, Kurpfalz, Flersheim, Sickingen and Pfalz-Veldenz are among them. In 1688 French soldiers destroyed the castle. But Neu-Wolfstein was rebuilt as early as 1695 and served as barracks for soldiers from the Electorate of the Palatinate until 1713. That year the castle was shot at and taken on the orders of the French Marshal Villar. In the partial ruins, the Georgskapelle served the Catholic community of Wolfstein as a church from 1720-71, and another building that has been preserved until 1798 was used as a rectory. Although the complex was in very bad condition as early as 1792, French soldiers took up residence in the castle two years later and used the chapel as a hospital.

A wonderfully secluded little village with lots of treasures. Lots of forest, quiet (at least during the week) and pure relaxation.
