The forest near Lembach


This castle figures into legends dating back to the 9th or 10th centuries. It was first mentioned in the epic Waltharius poem, and later figured into the legendary Niebelungen Saga. The ruins lie in the middle of the forest, but can be visited by a 10-minute walk from a nearby car parking area.

There are actually two castles here, directly adjacent to each other - Grand  (large) and Petit (small) Wasigensteins.  The forest grows all around them and even one them, as you see in the photos. You can climb up to the top of both castles for great views of the surrounding woods. Its somewhat remote location makes this castle relatively tourist-free. Also, the short hike through the woods to get there is quite pleasant. in fact, the castle is connected to other castles and towns in the area by a pretty extensive series of well-marked trails. Maps are available in the Lembach tourist office (when it is open!).
