According to Roman coin finds discovered in the 1970s, Heidelsburg Castle was built at the latest between the 2nd century AD (Emperor Hadrian) and 351 AD (Germanic invasions). However, based on the location and shape of the complex, as well as a Gallic coin find, historians consider it possible that a predecessor building dates back to Celts and dates back to as early as 100 BC. It cannot be ruled out that the building was further expanded in the late Carolingian period; certain features of the work on the chamber gate suggest this.[3] In 1355, Count Arnold of Homburg sold half of a rock in the Waldfischbach court, called Bunensteyn, to Count Walram II of Zweibrücken and allowed him to build a castle on the rock and a town at its foot, although this never came to fruition.[4] The original name has not been recorded. The name "Heidelsburg" is etymologically related to "Heiden" (heathens) and only arose in the Middle Ages, when the building had already been derelict for centuries. The forest survey (description) of Waldfischbach mentions the ruins around 1600.

To linger and keep your tired legs in water

Wonderful along the water

Rocks and cliffs up to 25 meters high stretch over 600 meters. Individual rock formations have such evocative names as Seelenturm, Seelenwand, Kanzel, Sommerwändchen or Hundsweiherwand. The winding path below is announced by a sign as a difficult section of the path. However, it certainly does not pose a challenge for experienced hikers.

And to enjoy everything, the (improvised) bench is ideal for a long break.

Here, a copy of the Saltuarius/forest manager gravestone is embedded in the rock. The original was found during archaeological excavations and is kept in the Historical Museum of the Palatinate in Speyer.

Some relics from the Roman era have been preserved in the so-called Heidelsburg. Some remains of walls and stairs can still be seen today. As can a copy of a gravestone excavated here. Based on the coin finds made in the 1970s, the beginnings of the Roman fortifications can be dated to the 2nd century. It is possible that an older Celtic fortification was used. In the local museum in Waldfischbach-Burgalben you can see a model of what the buildings might have once looked like.
