Drachenfels Castle (Wasgau)
Drachenfels Castle〔Drachenfels literally means "Dragons Rock" in English〕 is a ruined hill castle near the village of Busenberg in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It lies within the German half of the Wasgau region, the southern part of the Palatinate Forest.
== Location ==
Drachenfels Castle is located about seven kilometres north of the Franco-German border on the eponymous 150-metre-long bunter sandstone rocks which are on a ridge at an elevation of 368 metres above sea level. The highest part of the rocks was turned into a keep or ''bergfried''. Because of its present appearances the remains of the tower are known as the ''Backenzahn'' ("molar tooth") by the locals and make it one of the most striking castles in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Not far from the Drachenfels are several other historic castles: just three kilometres away to the south-east is Berwartstein; a similar distance to the north-west are the three castles of Dahn; Lindelbrunn is 6 kilometres to the northeast and the group of castles on the Franco-German border - the Wegelnburg (German) and the Hohnebourg, Lœwenstein and Fleckenstein (all on the French side) - are ten kilometres away to the southwest.
Man-made chambers have been hewn out of a rock massif opposite the castle, the so-called ''Buchkammerfels'', which lies on the 420-metre-high Heidenberg. The date and function of these ''Heidenkammern'' are unknown: it is speculated it may have been an outpost of the Drachenfels.
