After a long break, I'm finally back in my wild homeland for a stamp hunt. There's not much left of the castle ruins, especially during the vegetation period. In winter, you can get a better idea of the castle grounds. The vegetation makes the paths narrow and mystical. A predator or wild boar could be lurking around every bend 🤭 …

A short walk in the best weather ☀️ to the Hunnesrück castle ruins. It's good that the sign is there because there are hardly any remains. The paths near the 🫏s-teich are torn up by harvesters and are slowly thawing in these temperatures.
