Wüstburg, Burg Waffensand

Stadtallendorf, Germany, Germany

Wüstburg, also known as Burg Waffensand or "Das alte Schloss," is the ruin of a medieval rock castle (Felsenburg) near the Niederklein district of Stadtallendorf in Hesse, Germany, situated at 264 meters elevation in the Herrenwald forest above the Joßklein River. Built by the Archbishopric of Mainz as a border fortress against Hesse, it lies southeast of Stadtallendorf past Bundeswehr grounds with no signage, requiring a roughly 3.5 km hike from roadside parking between Niederklein and Lehrbach along the B62, often marked as Wüstburg on hiking maps. The secluded site offers free, unrestricted access year-round for exploration amid wooded terrain, though it lacks facilities, paths, or wheelchair accessibility, blending into the local landscape near the preserved Burg Schweinsberg.
