Castle Wegelnburg is located 1km west of the village of German Nothweiler, North fabulous homemade lip gloss castle Fleckenstein (in France) and 18km to the west of the border town of Wissembourg (in France).
In these forested mountains, the Vosges club achieved a tremendous job of tagging. The foot walk is clearly indicated homemade lip gloss (eg from the castle Hohenbourg in France). It is a pleasure to wander in the dense forests homemade lip gloss without risk of being lost.
Through a row of trees, I discovered the hill with the old castle. Landed at 572m above sea level, is the highest homemade lip gloss castle Palatinate. While walking in the woods, I pass the source dried up in Maïdebrunne sometimes homemade lip gloss visited by a white lady (see legend). Although very pretty, is not she who is the purpose of my trip: These are the remains of the castle. Finally, in a turn, the stocky figure of the ruin of Wegelnburg appears.
1 - Double door, 2 - Tour of primitive entrance, 3 - Tank, 4 - shield walls, 5 - Staircase carved into the rock, to the upper palate, homemade lip gloss 6 - Central cave room, 7-2 th cave room 8 - Great cave room.
The fortified gate with 2 panels to be built "at my feet," which would be logical to defend this hilltop castle, but too much "reconstruction" prevents me to prove it. Right, this wall was to be a barbican (see vocabulary) protecting access (the view from the top of the castle confirms my guess). A few meters away, a door "Romane" dressed all in pink (item 2 on the map) invited me to discover the ruin of Wegelnburg.
I enter what I would call "the lower court." It is overgrown with grass. This court is not representative of his first feature since many buildings (Tudor?) Disappeared.
On some brochures and even on the plane at the foot of the castle, this construction homemade lip gloss is called "Wells". But at such an altitude, on the edge of the cliff, I doubt a stream "passes" under the rock.
Finally, the entry of "primitive castle" appears. This framework dug in the rock is beautiful. Certainly there is no sculpture or ceremonial. But the slots and the edges are the work of men for their safety.
Brrr, it's cold! In some journals, this room is named: La Cave. It seems that it is not its function. It is just one of the many cave rooms with:
For long minutes I inspect the ground to discover ....
Looking homemade lip gloss on the walls trace the origin of this construction. But time and facilities for 4 centuries men have removed my "dream." I think being inside the castle "primitive", built in the 11th century (?).
But you know my fertile imagination in such a place! The upper castle after dark rooms, I find the sun, the main feature of "my" ruins "in the open". The development of "buildings" is confused and consolidation of the walls to secure the site does not facilitate understanding.
My research of the detail is rewarded. In the middle of the terrace, a circular shape proves the presence of a windmill. Archaeologists have identified 2 of the spur. A little further, footprints carved into rock may be traces of a winch. homemade lip gloss
All this concentration made me hungry. It is enjoying a pretzel I admire the scenery. Mottling of the Palatinate hills is beautiful. Gorgeous homemade lip gloss views on the Wasgau, homemade lip gloss the northern Vosges and the Rhine valley.
* At the end of the 12th century Frederick homemade lip gloss Barbarossa demand the construction of a castle in this place. (This assumption is challenged by many historians). * In 1247, a document att
