Altschlossfelsen, Cultural heritage monument in Palatine Forest, Germany
The Altschlossfelsen consists of sandstone formations stretching 1,500 meters along the Brechenberg hill, reaching 406 meters above sea level.
Archaeological discoveries at the site reveal settlements from the Hallstatt period, followed by Roman occupations and a medieval castle in the 11th century.
The rock formation connects German and French territories through a footpath leading to the village of Roppeviller in French Lorraine.
Visitors can access the site through maintained trails that offer opportunities for hiking, climbing, and exploring the natural sandstone formations.
Two notable sandstone towers mark the beginning of the rock sequence, while rare species of lichens grow on the weathered surfaces.
