It has been maintained, restored and rebuilt from private funds by a charity since 1993. Events take place regularly. The castle also offers food and accommodation options. Schloss Schöneck The castle was built around 1200 by Konrad von Boppard. It was referred to as a château for the first time in the 17th century.

Safety information
Der Saar-Hunsrück-Steig ist ein naturnaher Weg, der zu 65% über weichen Waldboden, über Graspfade oder entlang von Bachläufen geführt ist. Diese besondere Qualität kann nach längeren Regenperioden Teile des Wegs schwerer begehbar machen. Deshalb ist festes Schuhwerk unbedingt zu empfehlen.Tips and hints

Start
Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
The tour starts at the northern end of Morshausen. From the starting point at Enger Weg, we first follow the country road for a short distance, then cross it and turn onto a field path that leads us along the edge of the forest to the northeast. On our way further, there are always open fields and shady parts of the forest until we reach the Ehrenburger Tal after a total of 4.5 km.
There we cross the Ehrbach stream and make a loop to Sonnenwinkel before climbing up to Ehrenburg Castle. After the visit, we descend again into the Ehrbach valley and follow the course of the stream past Linkemühle, Brandengrabenmühle, Eckmühle, Rauschenmühle and Daubisbergermühle to Schöneck Castle.
There we leave the forest and walk across adjacent fields to Windhausen, finally our path leads cross-country to Oppenhausen, today's stage destination.

Coordinates
Equipment
The Saar-Hunsrück Climb is a natural path that is on soft forest floor, grass paths or alongside streams for 65% of its route. But this special quality can result in problems after long periods of rain, making parts of the route difficult to walk. We therefore recommend wearing sturdy shoes.Statistics
