Trail Between Wegelnburg and Hohenbourg

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Half of the route in Germany and half in France. And yet the same beauty. Mostly pleasant to run with a moderate gradient.

Loewenstein Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Small ruin with a great view. You can even climb here. However, the tours are crisp.

Löwenstein Castle (also called Lindenschmitt and Löwenburg) was first mentioned in the 13th century. The castle was destroyed in 1386 due to robber barons and was probably not rebuilt.

A very beautiful ruin with a wonderful view from both platforms.
