The Story:
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 a Good Trip:
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!
