Panoramic view of Fleckenstein castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Shortly after the Gimpelhof you can see the castle from afar, but there is still a long way to go.

From here it is only a few minutes walk to the ruins of the Hohenbourg and Löwenstein and to the red Krappenfels.

Löwenstein Castle (also called Lindenschmitt and Löwenburg) was first mentioned in the 13th century. The castle was destroyed in 1386 due to robber barons and was probably not rebuilt.

A very beautiful ruin with a wonderful view from both platforms.

German-French border at Kaiser Wilhelm Stone

Highlight • Monument

Here you make a real border experience - the Schlossberg has two peaks - one on the German and one on the French side. The border runs over the saddle in between. And right at the border there is still a refuge, the refuge Kaiser-Wilhelm-Stein. What is your snack time? Rather red wine and baguette or at least Saumagen and beer? ;)
