On a hiking route of 10 km, four picturesque castle ruins along the German-French border, each with a fantastic view, can be explored.

The route can be considered a classic in the southern Palatinate Forest. Combined with moderate inclines, on a varied half-day hike, four interesting castle ruins can be explored. During the hike, you alternate between Germany and France. Beautiful views, mighty rock formations, and shady forests make this hike an experience. A special attraction is the French Fleckenstein Castle ruin, featuring a visit program and museum (admission fee). As a conclusion to the hike, a stop at one of the Flammkuchen restaurants in the center of Nothweiler is recommended.
