Departure from Lembach (Bas-Rhin)
The destination is the Wegelnbug, the highest ruin in the Palatinate, offering breathtaking 360° views.
The ascent takes you past Fleckenstein Castle, whilst the descent offers the chance to visit Hohenbourg and Loewenstein Castles.
An ideal hike for children. A fun (but chargeable) tour of Fleckenstein, with a playground near the Gimbelhof.

Fleckenstein Castle is an eagle’s nest of extraordinary proportions, first mentioned in 1174. It had a reputation as an impregnable stronghold until it fell, without a fight, to the soldiers of Louis XIV in 1680. This walk invites you to discover this castle and the lake of the same name.
