A ruin with a fantastic view and the Uni-Villa hiking trailFrankenstein Castle was probably built in the middle of the 12th century on a mountain spur above the Hochspeyerbach valley and is one of the oldest castles in the Palatinate. It served to protect the road from Kaiserslautern to Dürkheim. Due to its destruction during the Peasants' War, all that remains of the lower castle are the remains of the five-storey residential building, a tower, fireplaces, the two-storey early Gothic chapel and the remains of the curtain wall and keep of the upper castle. From the ruins, you have a fantastic view of the narrow valley of the Hochspeyerbach stream and Frankenstein. The first half of our hike follows the Uni-Villa hiking trail, which connects the University of Kaiserslautern with Villa Denis in Diemerstein, about 1 km north of Frankenstein railroad station. Villa Denis was built by the railroad pioneer Paul Camille von Denis between 1845 and 1849 at the foot of the Diemerstein ruins. Today, the Italian-style country residence is a conference center for the university.
