Marian column made of red sandstone

Beautiful small and open chapel

In the village of Dalburg at the Chapel of St. Leonard there is another meditation panel on the Hildegardweg (panel 46: “The triple wall”).

The "Marian Column" from 1726, located at the foot of the Dalburg Castle, is also dedicated to Mary, venerated as the "Mother of God." A plaque there provides the following information: "At the entrance to the Dalburg Castle is a small, approximately 60 cm high sandstone sculpture, standing on a hemisphere symbolizing the moon, around which a snake winds. It was erected in 1726 on the old pilgrimage route to the Madonna of Soon, where, next to this statue, are the "S'Hellgeheisje im Schreck" (Halloween in the Fright) and "S'Helljeheisje am Dalberger Weg" (Hail Mary on the Dalberger Way) at the entrance to Spabrücken. ... For many generations, this plaque has been a place for believers to linger and say "Hail Mary" on their way to the Mother of God of Soon."

Rotenfels: Alpine feeling on the bike path! ​Watch out, a giant is in sight! Shortly after Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg, you pass the Rotenfels massif, the highest cliff face in Germany north of the Alps. We're talking about over 200 meters of pure rock, rising vertically above the Nahe River. ​This isn't a hill anymore; it's a geological shocker! The entire mass consists of reddish porphyry rock, which glows fiery red, especially in the evening (or in good light). Truly spectacular. ​From the bike path, you can see the full force of it. You suddenly feel very small, which can be quite relaxing after 50 kilometers in the saddle. ​Fun fact: Up on the Rotenfels is a climbing area – only for pros! I prefer to stay on my 25mm tire asphalt and enjoy the view from below. No need to climb too high; the panorama from here is already unbeatable! ​My tip: Stop and enjoy the moment. Take a photo with this rock colossus as proof.

​👑 Rheingrafenstein Castle Ruins – The Rock Boss on the Cycle Path ​Tip: Stop here! The Rheingrafenstein ruins sit dramatically perched on a 136-meter-high porphyry cliff above the Nahe River – one of the most impressive sights of the entire tour. The castle was the ancestral seat of the famous Wildgraves and Rhinegraves (until it was blown up in 1689). ​The view from the cycle path is phenomenal! If you really want to go up (and have enough energy), you can take the small hand-pulled ferry across and take the steep hiking trail to the ruins. It's worth it for the view over the Nahe Valley, but honestly: My legs were already tired enough from cycling. The panoramic view from below is worth its weight in gold! A must-have for your photo collection!

Rheingrafenstein Castle sits enthroned on a steep porphyry cliff (245 meters high) directly above the Nahe River near Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg. Legend has it that the devil himself built the castle—a reference to its dramatic location and mystical aura. In fact, it likely dates back to the 11th century and was the ancestral seat of the Lords of Stein, later the Wildgraves and Rhinegraves. In 1689, it was blown up by French troops under Louis XIV, and since then it has been a ruin—but an extremely impressive one.
