We ask for your understanding regarding the closure of the inner castle grounds.
The preservation association for the rescue of the Falkenstein ruin requests all visitors of the Falkenstein ruin to understand that the interior of the castle grounds may only be entered during the renovation weekends. The ongoing preservation work aims to make the entire castle grounds safely accessible and viewable to the public again. Due to unsecured areas inside the castle, it is currently far too dangerous or even life-threatening in some parts!

Hiking backpack (incl. rain cover), sturdy footwear
