High above the town of Lorch on the mountain of the same name stands the ruin Nollig.
Around 1300, this fortified tower was built as part of the city fortifications that were to secure the city downstream. Investigations have shown that the tower was first built as a three-storey half-timbered building, whose foundation sat directly on the slate rock.stadt-lorch-rheingau.de/staticsite/staticsite.php?menuid=57&topmenu=41

Quotation (information from the Upper Middle Rhine Valley World Heritage Association): Nollig Castle can only be reached on foot via the Rheinsteig or the Rheinburgenweg! 😂
