Hotel 'Zum Wegelnburg' run by Family Kraft is a venue we love to visit over few decades in the Pfalz, Germany. Their Hotel Rooms are modern and spacious but bookings need to be made well in time as these get reserved far in advance. Free Car Parking is available around the hotel. The Chef, M. Kraft, is renowned for his Flammkuchen and Saumagen alongwith many other regional...

Die Wegelnburg bei Schönau ist die höchstgelegene Burgruine der Pfalz und bietet einen atemberaubenden Panoramablick über den Pfälzerwald bis ins Elsass. Besonders bei klarem Wetter reicht die Sicht bis zu den Vogesen.

Positiv: Ausblick: Spektakulär, 360° Rundumblick, ideal für Sonnenauf- und -untergang.

Wanderung: Gut ausgeschilderte Wege, z. B. ab Schönau oder Nothweiler.

Ruine: Teilweise restauriert, viele Ebenen begehbar, geschichtsträchtiger Ort.

Hinweise: Gutes Schuhwerk notwendig (teils steile, unbefestigte Wege).

Nicht barrierefrei.

Keine Gastronomie oben, Selbstverpflegung ratsam.

Nice view and ruin. The area around the Wegelnburg is great with many more ruins and places to discover. The way there is a bit "boring" and public transportation to Notwheiler is painfully unreliable.

Über den Blick von der Ruine kann man nichts negatives sagen. Was aber den Müll um (ja ich meine das Naturschutzgebiet) und AUF der Ruine anbelangt ist es eine reine Katastrophe, selbst Lagerfeuer wurden auf einer Historischen Sehenswürdigkeit entfacht (höchst wahrscheinlich von den Bauarbeitern). Deutschland hat ein gewaltiges Problem was Müll betrifft, vor allem in den Köpfen jedes einzelnen Einwohners. Egal wohin man geht die Situation ist immer die gleiche, als wenn es so schwer ist seinen Müll mit zu nehmen und richtig zu entsorgen.
