ズュートヴェストファルツの洞窟・トップ20

The ruins sit imposingly on their freestanding sandstone plinth. Steps carved into the rock allow you to explore the former castle complex and enjoy the view of the Palatinate Forest.

Pretty castle ruins... A climb up the stairs is definitely worth it... from the top you have a wonderful view of the wooded hills of the Wasgau

A good overview of Altdahn, the peace that the path radiates in your mind... what else do you need?

In 1985/1986 the entire castle was extensively renovated. In the course of this, the road at the back of the castle was also set up.

Admission is now €7.00 regardless of whether with or without a guided tour. (as of 09/14/23) The upper floors are private and cannot be visited. This also includes the keep. Exciting exit (voluntary) through under the castle. Bring a cell phone light or, even better, a flashlight.

View of the next major goal when walking the Hahnfels path: the castles of Altendahn

This typical rock castle is the highest castle in the Palatinate. From here you have a fantastic view of the Wasgau. There are three other castle ruins in the immediate vicinity.

Tanstein Castle stretches across the two westernmost castle rocks in the castle group. Both rocks used to be connected by a bridge. Today there are modern parapet walls on the rocks, which were placed arbitrarily during restoration work and do not convey any impression of the former castle buildings. The west rock was apparently built with tower-like buildings leaning against the rock. Evidence of this is given by beam holes and workings in the rock, as well as a large cistern, in which water was collected from the roofs. From this point you have a great view of the facility.
