New road for Germany’s highest castle ruins

The ruins of Falkenstein Castle are located in the Allgäu at 1,277 metres – accessible via a private access road that also leads to a boutique hotel with a gourmet restaurant. The road, which is around two kilometres long, runs in narrow serpentines and has gradients of up to 30 per cent. Josef Böck GmbH from Nesselwang relies on the new Vögele SUPER 1800-5 X road paver with AB 500 TP1 extending screed for demanding surface course rehabilitation.
