Steinkallenfels Castle Ruins
Highlight • Castle
The castle was first mentioned in documents in 1158 and was originally the imperial fief of the Lords of Stein, later called lords of Steinkallenfels (extinct 1778). Since the 14th century she was Ganerbenburg. 1615, the castle is already described as dilapidated. Finally, it was blown up in 1682/84 by the French and has since been a ruin.
A large rock wall on the back serves as an impressive climbing wall.

But this beautiful hike compensated me for all the hardships.
I had never been here near the Nahe before and there are beautiful dream loops here …

you think you're in Dahner Felsenland or Mullerthal,... but it's the Hunsrück... this time I touched the Soonwald-Steig... strange, nothing to see of the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig.🤔
Highly recommended again 😁🧙♂️🍼👍
It's really great here, especially with the many dream loops 😁👌💪
