Tips from the Community

Bernd 🌲🦌🍄🥾
December 19, 2024, Burg Ramstein

The Ramstein castle ruin is located on a roughly 182-meter-high colourful sandstone rock. Originally, it was created in the 10th century as a fortified farmstead and was expanded in the course of the 14th century into a feudal castle of the Electorate of Trier. Today, the approximately 25-meter-high residential tower on the west side, as well as parts of the still towering ring walls, are mainly preserved. These still show recognizable architectural details such as seating niches, fireplaces, and remains of spiral staircases.

Many Matthias brotherhoods from the Lower Rhine pass by here to rest at Ramstein Castle.

Very good condition. In 2020, St. Mary was completely restored.

Beautiful photo opportunity: Statue on the rocky slope 🎨📸 Perhaps one pauses for a moment...each in their own way... Inscription: "I do not want to be rich nor gain fame. "Nor do I shy away from work, toil, and trouble. "Only one thing I ask of you; O Holy Mary - let me wander, until my last day." 🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾

A short climb and you are in the castle, but before that it is worth taking a short break in the restaurant

"Southeast of Kordel, we come across a Marian grotto in the form of a semi-cave high on the rocky slope, with a statue and inscription: "I do not want to be rich, nor gain fame. Nor do I want to shy away from work, toil, and trouble. Only one thing I ask of you; O Holy Mary, let me wander, until my last day." The first part seems as if someone wants to keep the poor rural population willing to work; we certainly agree with the second passage." https://www.komoot.de/tour/784587473
