Historical Roman Trail (Roman Path) with additional Hochburg - certified premium hiking trail

This hike, recognized by the German Hiking Institute, takes you past several Roman remains, Burg Ramstein and through the beautiful Butzerbachtal.

Please note: the route is signposted but the extra loop to the remains and viewpoint of Hochburg is NOT indicated!

We prefer to start at the parking lot in Butzweiler because we can then make a stop at Burg Ramstein . When we stop at the parking lot of Burg Ramstein there are no catering facilities along the way.

The walk passes some Roman remains: the mine "Pützlöcher ", the wall "Langmauer" , but also the natural caves " Genovevahöhle" which were used by the Romans, the " Klausenhöhle" and the “ Sylvesterhöhle ” . Remains from the Middle Ages "Hochburg" and "Burg Ramstein" (free to visit) where we plan a stopover with a panoramic view of the valley.

Other highlights include the Hochburg viewpoint and the Genovevahöhle viewpoint as well as the Butzerbachtal valley with the seven waterfalls of " The Whispering Water".

Be sure to also consult the information about the sights once you are there . They will explain what you will see!
