The Falkenburg ruins are located in the south-eastern part of the Teutoburger Wald and are a relic of a former stronghold built around 1100. The Falkenburg, now registered as a protected monument, has been under investigation by an archaeological excavation team since April 2005. Already during the first 6 months, there were great successes and large parts of the hidden castle have since been excavated. As the excavated masonry is unstable after being buried for centuries, visits to the ruins are only allowed during guided tours.
