Burg Erfenstein
Esthal, Germany, Germany
Burg Erfenstein near Esthal in Germany's Palatinate Forest is a medieval spur castle ruin split into older Alt-Erfenstein and newer Neu-Erfenstein sections at 265 meters above the Elmstein Valley, first documented in 1272 as a Leiningen ministerial seat for forest protection.
Carved into sandstone with thick walls, a bergfried tower base, and neck ditches separating its parts, it shares the Leather Bridge legend with opposite Spangenberg Castle across the Speyerbach.
