Falkenstein Summer Tours

In 2026, the Falkenstein summer tours once again invite you to enjoy unforgettable experiences around the impressive Falkenstein castle ruins. In addition to popular classics, guests can expect a varied program of atmospheric evening hikes, exciting themed tours and special nature experiences.

The anniversary tour "Legendary Falkenstein" kicks things off with a romantic journey into the world of regional legends and songs. Things get mystical on the "A Midsummer Night's Dream" hike, which takes participants into the legendary world of fairies, elves and nature spirits.

Families also get their money's worth: on the "Tritsch, Tritsch ruft's aus dem Wald" tour, young and old explorers can follow the trail of the legendary Elwetritsche. A special highlight is the "Space Night Tour", where a partial solar eclipse and the shooting star night of the Perseids can be experienced together.

For hiking enthusiasts, "Come along to the Kupferberg!" is a varied hut hike with refreshments on the program, which guarantees wonderful views over the Northern Palatinate.

The popular castle tours by moonlight are also an integral part of the summer tours. The impressive Falkenstein castle ruins offer a unique backdrop and become a very special experience at dusk.

The castle ruins high above the village, once the ancestral seat of the counts of Falkenstein and built on a former volcanic chimney, are not only the setting for the guided tours, but also a popular excursion destination and an ideal starting point for hikes with impressive views.

The Falkenstein summer tours are organized by the local community of Falkenstein in cooperation with the tourism office of the municipality of Winnweiler.

Prior registration is required for all tours.
