The marked connecting path from Falkenstein Castle ruins along the rocks directly east does not exist. Caution: Danger of falling! You must descend from the ruins back into the Engenbach Valley.

The access path through the Engenbach Valley is overgrown with tall grass. Beware of ticks! Ticks are very numerous and aggressive this year.

Only a part of the wall and a tower wall remain.

The castle was first mentioned in documents in 1079. The relatively extensive area is not secured. Enter the ruins at your own risk! The center of the castle is located on a hill surrounded by a deep moat. There is still an impressive wall at the top. Crashed and fallen trees are lying everywhere. But if you like castles and forests, you're in good hands here. Below the remains of the wall in the middle you have a wonderful view towards the Höllental entrance. The streets here were probably also the reason for the construction of the castle. For more information see e.g. here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Wiesneck

Stegen-Weiler Castle was a mansion in what is now the municipality of Stegen on the northern edge of the Dreisamtal, a few hundred meters south of the Dreisam tributary Eschbach, from the High Middle Ages until the peasant emancipation at the latest. Today (2020) the St. Sebastian College stands on the site. The main building, which dates back to the Baroque period, is now referred to as a castle in the narrower sense.

The ascent is narrow and quite steep at the top, but there is a railing. Best not to go in the rain. At Bubenstein there are more ruins to see, but the view from Falkenstein onto the Hirschsprung is fantastic. If you come by here, a detour to both ruins is worthwhile.

Great view. You should be surefooted. Making fire is forbidden.

The College of St. Sebastian is located on the grounds of the castle. The castle chapel is also located here.
