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.
