Another castle in Rheinland-Pfalz that was blown up either by the French or during the Peasants War. But don’t worry about that. All you care about is having a place to rest your weary legs and enjoy the view. Thirsty? Grab a cold wein schorle while you enjoy the fruits of civilization! The little restaurant also offers food to restore your powered-out muscles.
Tips for your visit
You cannot drive up to the castle so you will have to hike up the hill. See the Komoot map to guide you from the parking lot. Have fun!
Enjoy the view!Take a seat and enjoy the view (enhanced by a cold drink) at the Wachtenburg
Wachtenburg CastleIn August, the castle hosts the "Burgfest" as shown by the tents. Brave the crazy stairs up the tower for an even more stunning view!
