Wachtenburg (Ruin "Castle Wachenheim")

It’s a beautiful place where you can see landscape of Freinsheim, Bad Dürkheim, Wachenheim, Mannheim and more from above. They also have very nice restaurant in the castle with traditional German food.

The 13th century castle ruin is scenically located on the edge of the Palatine Forest, with vineyards cascading down to the Rhine Plain. Food, wine and expansive views are on hand.

Noice scenic route

Beautiful view on the way and at the top of the ruin.

Easy access to the castle ruin. There are plenty of places to stop and rest during your climb. A nice pub at the top to have snacks and quench your thirst. Once you have made it there, the views are worth it!
