Hohenecken Castle, Hohenecken, Germany
The northwest corner of Burg Hohenecken's defensive ditch greets visitors hiking from Hohenecken village before they enter the castle grounds.

My father, Lewis D. Whaley, who hiked with other soldiers in the 596th Signal Support Company, 97th Signal Battalion, 7th United States Army, to the castle between 1961 and 1962 traveled from Pulaski Barracks in Kaiserslautern, Germany.

I believe they may have hiked to Burg Hohenecken by using one of many trails leading to the castle, such as the one depicted in the left background of this photograph.
