A magnificent view of the Frauenburg Castle and the Nahe Valley from a rocky outcrop. There's a small bench directly on the rock, and a picnic bench in the shade a few meters away.

In addition to an overview of the Frauenburg, there is a glimpse of transport routes from various centuries. On the site of today's Nahe Bridge, there was probably already a Celtic ford, which may have been replaced by a bridge in Roman times. This site represented an important link in the long-distance connections of antiquity and the Middle Ages from the south to the Hunsrück and the Moselle. In addition to the 19th-century railway bridge, one can see the bridges from the 1960s, which, among other things, were used to divert military traffic from the town of Idar-Oberstein to the Baumholder military training area.

Strong Fortress

Built before 1327 as a fortress for the southwestern parts of the County of Sponheim-Starkenburg and the Nahe River crossing. Only the inner castle area survives. In 1331, Loretta von Sponheim chose it as a widow's residence instead of the contractually secured Herrstein Castle. After the Countess's death, the castle became the official residence of the bailiffs of the Frauenberg domain, which also included the towns of Reichenbach, Hammerstein, Ausweiler, Kronweiler, and the manorial estates of Winnenberg and Homerich. The complex was rarely used. During the Thirty Years' War, the uninhabited castle fell into disrepair. It's possible that the 30 x 10 m remains still stand on a Roman site (burgus). It is said that the small tower is the place where Rapunzel lived. Source: Text information panel

It seldom happens that one looks down at a castle.
