It's nice to sit in the shade and empty the fridge (soft drinks, beer, wine)

This is one of the three "pleasure stations" along the trail. Soft drinks, beer, and wine can be purchased from the refrigerator on a trust basis. The tower is the only one that can be climbed; the rest of the building houses the forestry office.

🏰 Dhronecken Castle – History along the way An impressive site that demonstrates just how much history lies in this region. The castle is quietly situated, a little off the beaten track, but with a clear presence. Perfect for a quick detour, a photo – or simply a moment to wonder what it was like here in the past.

Birkenfeld Castle was first documented in 1293 as a Sponheim property. At the end of the 16th century, Duke Charles expanded it into a princely palace in the Renaissance style. Count Palatine Charles founded the Wittelsbach branch of the Dukes of Palatinate-Zweibrücken-Birkenfeld, who became Electors of Bavaria in 1799 (and Kings from 1806). With the French invasion, the castle was declared French national property and auctioned in Trier in 1807. The complex could no longer be maintained by private hands and thus fell into disrepair. Parts of the outer walls and tower stumps, one of which was converted into an observation tower, as well as the former guesthouse with the gatehouse of the castle entrance, remain.
