Hohenfels Castle, Medieval hill castle in Imsbach, Germany.

The castle ruins stand at 545 meters elevation in the Beutelfels Nature Reserve, featuring remaining stone walls and defensive structures.

The first documentation of Hohenfels Castle dates to 1200, when the Bolanden family controlled this strategic fortification in Rhineland-Palatinate.

The castle represents medieval German architecture and military engineering, with its position demonstrating territorial control methods of noble families.

Visitors can reach the castle through a steep footpath from the Weiße Grube visitor mine, passing the Iron Man monument in Langental valley.

A collection of 28 Roman coins from 340 AD was discovered near the castle site in 1820, indicating earlier Roman presence.
