Fun hike through leaf covered trails up to the best views of landstuhl. The castle is closed oct 1 through jan 1 and the restaurant up there is closed as well. Well worth the hike for some beautiful pictures
This Burg was once a way to protect travelers and locals. You can into the Burg for a minimal fee. You can go up into upper floors and down into the cellars, a pamphlet guides your journey. The grounds and view are beautiful. The restaurant has very good food, but no children's menu. If you bring your dog, they have designated water bowls and treats for them. You can enjoy your meal and the view of the lower villages.
If you are passing through Ramstein or Landstuhl on a quick visit this is very close to both bases and a great way to pass the time and get to see a bit of German history. The drive up is quite easy and well marked with brown signs.
Well worth the trip up there, super neat ruins, great vantage point to see the pretty city below. The restaurant up there was cool, the wait staff wasn't super friendly to Americans (imagine that) but the food was authentic and priced average.
We bring newcomers to Germany here as their first stop. Great atmosphere and the castle has unique features, and the beer is great at he restaurant.
First, the restaurant has great food and wonderful view. Well worth it to sit and look over the town and the airbase. Second, the castle is pretty well preserved. Not as fancy as some other castles, but worth the time to see it.
There's not only wonderful view from the Burg but around the area is good for walking, hiking and biking. Also the Burg restsurant has a good food!
Pretty good ruins and one of the few in that part of Germany, so nice not to have to go a long way. Good view, decent food, and a nice walking trail up all make up for a nice way to spend a decent weather day. It is also a venue for some concerts, and really gets lively then!
Considering the age of this castle, it is in good shape. A good bit of the main walls remain. It costs 3.00 Euro to enter. They offer a guided tour for about 30 euro (I did not investigate into the tour more than that). if you are a history buff, this castle might be a little disappointing. There are relatively no plaques on the ground to show what the castle might have looked like or anything providing tid-bits of stories. The most informative plague is in German (and more or less translated and placed on wikipedia). The castle has an awesome view of the surrounding areas. There are two restaurants on by the castle too...both are worth visiting!
The castle is secreted away in the hills above Landstuhl. It is definitely hard to locate but well worth the effort. The setting is quiet with a gorgeous view of Landstuhl. Castle tours are not always available, so call ahead to check. The restaurant on site is good, not great... but has a breathtaking view of the village Landstuhl.
