The Rossel castle ruins were built in 1774 by Count Ostein on the highest elevation in the Niederwald. It is a popular tourist destination, especially because of its wonderful view of the Nahe estuary and the Binger Loch.

Beautiful view. One of the most beautiful in the Niederwald and not as crowded as the monument.

A great destination for hiking and cable car rides. The view of the Rhine and the surrounding area is also fantastic.
