Ruins Falkenburg

The ruins of Falkenburg in the Teutoburg Forest are a ruined castle in the district of Lippe in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The former hilltop castle was built from about 1190 and abandoned in the first half of the 16th century.

The Falkenburg ruins are located in the southeastern part of the Teutoburg Forest, here called the "Lippe Forest", in the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge Nature Park, about one kilometre south-southeast of Johannaberg, a southern location of the southern Detmold district of Berlebeck. It is located about 1.7 kilometres north-northeast of the Gauseköte as the crow flies on a 372.6 m above sea level neighbouring the Stemberg 700 metres northeast, which is connected by a 337 m high mountain saddle with a forest path branch at 339.6 m above sea level. About five and a half kilometres southeast of the ruins lies the seam line to the south-facing Egge Mountains in the Silberbach valley.
