Hardenburg Castle Ruins


After our bike ride yesterday we decided to visit some castle ruins that are only about 10 minutes away by car. They are due west of Bad Dürkheim, nestled in the hills of the Palatinate forest. And these ruins are quite large and you can walk around in the old castle and read what some of the rooms were used for.

First we had to walk up a path through the woods to get up to the castle. There also seem to be lots of hiking trails in this area but thankfully the path we took was mostly paved because I was in my sandals:

You got to climb up several floors and then up to the top of the tower and you got great views from every level. No shortage of stairs in this castle:
