Small door on a tree root 🌳 on the path up to Weidelsburg ruin 🏰. Nice idea 💡 for children, but also for adults. 😁

Weidelsburg Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The Weidelsburg was one of the most important castles in the Landgraviate of Hesse in the late Middle Ages. You reach the imposing castle ruins via a narrow serpentine path. In the gigantic east tower you can reach the viewing platform via a staircase and enjoy the magnificent panorama from there. There is also a small kiosk here with a hoisted flag showing when it is open. Mostly this is on Sundays and public holidays.
