Start of the Geroldsecker Burgpfad

Highlight • Trail

The Geroldsecker Castle Trail begins here with (beginning of 2025) completely redesigned play stations and information boards. This makes the climb to the castle ruins an entertaining and interesting history tour for the whole family.

Hohengeroldseck Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Great ruin that is preserved on a voluntary basis. Unfortunately there are no toilets upstairs (yet). Should come at some point. The hiking trail up is made interesting with many stations that can also inspire children.
