Hiking
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.

I would be happy to recommend the ascent to Ramstein Castle and a visit to the beer garden! By the way, the hiking trail goes right through the small beer garden! From the Butzerbachtal, a shortcut path was made not so long ago with a fairly new bridge. In the past, the castle ruins could easily be visited. Presumably because of Corona, however, this is currently (May 2021) blocked.

The staircase is a bit hidden. You have to go up behind the garages of the hotel a staircase in the rock face.
