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.

Highlight • Trail

Frœnsbourg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Foensburg Castle dates from the 13th century. After being demolished, the lords of Fleckenstein rebuilt it in the 15th century. This fortified castle is a so-called semi-troglodyte construction, and rests on two independent rocks, connected by a footbridge.
