No passage that leads to this "castle", too bad the roads are very dangerous and there is no way to get there by car...

Beautiful ruined castle. Do not do like most of the Zouaves that we have seen, including a hiking club and even electrified cyclists, do not visit the castle itself, it is not safe and moreover it is indicated on Signs. It is precisely the repeated passage of pedestrians and even worse cyclists which is gradually eroding the structure.

A rather daring recommendation from Google that the castle can be reached by car in a few minutes, this is not true, the road up is closed to traffic. It is a good an hour long walk, and some of the paths suggested by Google Maps were quite impossible.

It's a very beautiful walk starting from Boenlesgrab towards Schrankenfels. From the Firstplan the panorama is magnificent over the Munster valley

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
