Dhronecken Castle
Highlight • Castle
Below the castle there is a natural playground on both sides of the Thalfanger stream. A water ford with jumping stones, a forum-like play and meeting place rising up the slope, made of mighty stone blocks, wooden footbridges over natural swampy terrain, playhouses, a suspension bridge and a slide are the first attractions for children and adults.
Currently (9/2021) the playground is closed due to material damage!
Update 6/2022: The playground has been repaired and the castle is now part of the new Lecker Pfädchen dream loop. This includes a well-stocked gourmet station, where you can take various drinks (water, lemonade, wine, beer and shandy, also non-alcoholic) from a large refrigerator by inserting cash into a cash register. Several picnic benches have also been set up for this purpose.

Highlight • Castle
Veldenz Castle was once the largest castle on the Middle Moselle and the ancestral seat of the Counts of Veldenz. Today, the imposing ruins bear witness to its former importance. The complex is situated on a steep rocky plateau and offers a sweeping view over the valley. A place steeped in history and inviting to linger.
💡 Tip:
A detour to the castle is worthwhile – the ruins are partially accessible, and the view of the Moselle Valley is particularly impressive when the sky clears.

Very well-preserved castle Azur from the Middle Ages, which is still used as a restaurant today. Among other things, you can dine in style like a knight.

Bekond is worth a detour; as you drive past the sports field and golf course, you'll enjoy the view of the Moselle Valley mountains. It's a dream.

It's nice to sit in the shade and empty the fridge (soft drinks, beer, wine)

This is one of the three "pleasure stations" along the trail. Soft drinks, beer, and wine can be purchased from the refrigerator on a trust basis. The tower is the only one that can be climbed; the rest of the building houses the forestry office.
