The ruins of Mont Royal fortress lie above Traben-Trarbach on a bend in the Moselle River and were built at the end of the 17th century by order of the French Sun King, Louis XIV. The complex covered an area of 50 hectares and offered space for up to 12,000 soldiers and 3,000 horses. It was intended to serve as a supply base for the French Rhine Army and to control the central Rhineland. Only eleven years after construction began, following the Peace of Rijswijk in 1697, the French destroyed the fortress themselves in 1698 to avoid surrendering it to their opponents. Today, only a few remains of the once mighty fortress are visible. These include sections of the walls, casemates, cellar vaults, and defensive ditches. A large part of the ruins is overgrown by forest.

At first glance, the spiral sandstone staircase appears to be enclosed by a gate. However, this only prevents ascent. The descent leads into darkness via the stairs, which are partially slippery due to rubble, followed by a tunnel leading to a loooong, equally slippery staircase that descends into the depths. This tunnel then leads into a long, equally slippery tunnel with loopholes on the sides, at the end of which you return to daylight. Sturdy footwear and sufficient lighting, or good accident insurance, are recommended!

All that remains of the barracks, i.e. the accommodation buildings, are numerous vaulted cellars, which have collapsed in many places, creating a huge crater field.

Cave in a huge rock, where slate was also mined. The cave, which leads slightly downwards, is filled with leaves that are sometimes waist-high at the entrance, so you have to feel your way carefully with your feet because there are large rocks, deep holes and slippery slate slabs under the leaves.

Small cave that you can tread carefully (clammy, slippery, there is sometimes water in it). The illumination with the mobile phone is completely sufficient, the light yield for a mobile phone photo without a flash was even sufficient.

I was there once in the summer, but unfortunately everything in front of the cave was overgrown and I didn't want to go through the bushes in short clothes. I made up for it and went there in the winter. Very beautiful. A small pond has formed. The water is crystal clear.
