View of Thallichtenberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

📝 On this open section of the Burgblick loop, the view sweeps far over the hills and fields surrounding Thallichtenberg. With a bit of luck, you might even spot some wildlife companions: deer at the edge of the forest, birds over the meadows, or hares among the bushes. Pure nature, without any artificial backdrop.

💡 Tip: Have binoculars or a camera ready – it's especially worth taking a look into the open in the early morning hours.

Lichtenberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Thallichtenberg towers over one of the longest castle ruins in Germany. The remarkably well-preserved castle complex with youth hostel, restaurant as well as three museums invites you to explore. From the keep you have a fantastic view over the Palatinate mountains.

Preußensteig Trailhead at Burg Lichtenberg

Highlight • Trail

📍 Near Lichtenberg Castle

This is where the trail begins: an inconspicuous path, a small sign – and suddenly you're in the middle of a piece of East German history. The Preußensteig starts quietly but steeped in history. The first border markers aren't long in coming, the landscape opens up, and the feeling of "being on the move" quickly sets in.

💡 Tip:
Be sure to take a moment at the start to get in the mood – the trail is long, but very rewarding. If you're planning the tour in stages, you can also start here and rejoin later.
