We love castles and we love ruins so this castle ruin did not disappoint at all! This one has been on our list for a couple years and we finally made the trip down. Just incredible all around. From the easy parking to starting up the hill to the base there was information being taught. You learn about how they made charcoal. The base camp had a nice souvenir store and cafe. We payed to play a game with the kids on our way to the castle and had a great time! I highly suggest doing the Castle of Challenges with Hugo game! We all had fun finding clues and solving the questions on the “long way” up. When we got to the castle, it was very impressive. Information boards everywhere about the area and the game continues to teach you and continue the fun! Incredible views from the top! Such a cool castle! When you finish your game be sure you make time to check your answers back at the P’tit Fleck and get a fun picture taken as your prize! Wear good shoes for climbing as the sandstone and stairs are a little slippery. Also if you have a full day, you can hike to 3 other castles close by which we will do next time. Another quick fact we found interesting as we are living in Heidelberg and love our castle there, the French general responsible for the destruction of Fleckenstein is also responsible for the complete destruction of the surrounding castles and Heidelberg castle.
