    Wonderful view from a height of 330 meters from an elevated bench set in NSG Nollig.

        After we walked the entire Wispertaunussteig we were very pleased with this view in the end. ☺️

            The ruins of Nollig (also called Nollich, Nollig, Nollicht, Nollingen and Nollen) are the ruins of a hilltop castle on a ridge, the "Nollig" or "Wachtenberg" at 176 m above sea level. NN, northwest of the town of Lorch on the Middle Rhine in the Rheingau-Taunus district in Hesse.




            The fortifications on the Nollig were built around the beginning of the 14th century. It is partially identified by recent research with the documented Fürsteneck Castle. Thomas Steinmetz sees the Nollig or Fürsteneck Castle as a counter-castle for the Archbishopric of Mainz against the Palatine Castle of Fürstenberg, which was built by the Electorate of Cologne, but had already had to cede to the Electoral Palatinate in the Bingen Treaty of May 29, 1344. He cites a Mainz document from 1349 as evidence, here the building is named as buw zu forstenecke ob Lorche. The document describes the stone expansion of the castle. The fief register of the middle Rhine marshals of Waldeck (not related to the Hessian noble family of those of Waldeck) lists Fürsteneck Castle, here called Furstenecke bi Lorche, as a fief of Mainz since Johann III. Marshal von Waldeck zu Sooneck owned by the Marshals of Waldeck.

            The Nollig ruins have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley since 2002.
