Windeck Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

It can be doubted that the RTL production “Demon Wedding” was a high point in the 800-year history of the castle. The symbol of the municipality of Windeck in the Siegtal has seen completely different things since it was first mentioned in 1174 as “Castrum novum in windeke”. The castle was destroyed several times in later centuries and threatened to deteriorate completely before the Siegkreis had the Palas wall rebuilt and the keep secured in the 1960s. Archaeological investigations uncovered a floor plan that gives an idea of the imposing dimensions of the castle.

View of Burg Windeck

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is our milestone: Burg 🏰 Windeck! Always worth a hike because everything is included: culture, a bit of a more demanding path and finally a stop at Elmores!

Dreisel Ascent Trail with Shelter

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The descent down to victory is not without its dangers. Especially in autumn and winter it can get very smooth and slippery on the leaves, rocks or roots! Watch out! After all, a few ropes are stretched ....
