A hard walk up a narrow path. Prepare. are very unique, built around a rock at the top of a mountain. The bottom entrance is the only way in and out of the keep. To see the rest you must walk around to the top. Amazing how they used the rock as fortification. Watch out for the nettle plants on the path!!!! The ruin is a bit of an old not well maintained building but the view is nice. Be sure to bring your own coffee, food and entertainment as there isn’t any on the site (well, maybe Frankenstein, depending on your wife, …) What a great historical landmark! The directions to the led us the wrong way, but we ultimately figured it out. Once we got to the top, we walked around, took some photos and admired the view of the town from the top of the ruins. Definitely a cool place to hike to. The have been restored in some areas. The hike is pretty. There are some goats 🐐 on the hill. *The is located right behind this little restaurant! Use the first few pictures I posted for reference! Go up the steps and you see the placard for the ruins, take a left on the hidden steps and then another left and you will see the going up! Just keep going left up the mountain!* Review: It is so heartbreaking to see a in such a dilapidated position! I can only wonder what these would’ve looked like in its hayday! It’s a nice hike to get to the top where the is located but it’s so worth it! The views once you reach the top are so cool. I do advise a bit of caution since it’s an unmanned so there’s no real safety nets except for the guardrails! Located in Frankenstein, Germany, this was constructed around the mid 1100s. Admission is free and it is open 24 hours. It is illuminated at night. It is not handicap accessible and there are no facilities. There is a semi-improved trail leading to the from a small parking area. At the site are informational displays in the German language, you will have to use a translation app to read it. There is one picnic table on site. There are no trash cans so take your trash with you... do not litter. This includes, but is not limited to cigarette butts, plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Ciekawe miejsce. Nice and little village with great scenery and views. Would go again. Good hiking nearby too. Amazing and view over the town of Frankenstein. well preseved, with a table and bench close to them so you can enjoy the view. Don't take the show on Maps, is steep and a little hard to climb. The best is from the cemetery, close to the church. Amazing piece of history. When I arrived I was the only person here, making exploring the much more enjoyable. The are in terrible condition, and it only takes about 10 minutes to see the entirety of the castle. There are several miles of hiking trail directly behind the which takes you through a beautiful forest. Highly recommend. Two different pathways can go up to it. One starts down next to a little store/bar where everyone smokes. Can't miss the bar, but the is hard to spot. Another is a little down the road and near the church. The hike is nice to get up there. Not much to see, it should only take an hour out of your day. Now if you’re going to visit a Frankenstein ruin, this would be the one! It has the feeling of evil doing all over it! There’s also a church and cemetery right below it and the hike up to it is amazing! This one was well worth the drive out and it isn’t that far from Ramstein! Outstanding ruins! Ein idyllischer Ort. Mir fehlt noch ein Besuch im Nebel und am Abend 📷 are beautiful and so is the town below. You can walk into the and get a good view of the surrounding area. I parked by the train station. It was a short walk to get to the from there. On top theres a picnic table. Definitely a good place for a first date Sehr schöne Ruine. Kostenlos. Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen. Spannende und frei begehbare Burg – mit einem kurzen aber steilen Aufstieg sehr gut erreichbar (Parkplätze im Ort oder direkt per Bahn anreisen). Tolle Atmosphäre und viel zu sehen. Auch in der Umgebung weitere spannende Ziele wie das Leinbachtal auf der anderen Seite des Schlossbergs. Mit viel Glück erlebt man die Burg Frankenstein im Nebel – absolut atemberaubend (s. Foto). The pictures do not do full justice to this magnificent ruin. It has all the makings for a good gothic tale, perched as it is high above a small village and its church and cemetery. The narrow, winding, steep leading up to it is also most suitable. Although there is no evidence that Mary Shelley ever set foot here it is nevertheless very much in the spirit of the tale that she wrote. The is an open ruin without entry fee. Dogs allowed. Sehr beeindruckend!!! Sehenswert, danke den Restauratoren.
