Wolkenstein Castle ruins
The ruins of a medieval castle
Burg Wolkenstein, today a ruin, was a fortress set in Stevia Wand rock face at the start of Langental valley (then Ciastel de Val). There used to be two castles standing here to safeguard Trai Paian long-distance path. Today's castle was built around 1200 and later taken over by Meinhard II, who elevated it to a court seat and equipped it with supplies. After 1370, the castle passed into the hands of the Wolkenstein family.
