Hiking

On the Himberg you will find a striking rock formation - the Königstuhl. This is considered an old Celtic place of power. It forms the summit of the mountain and can be found in the immediate vicinity of the Sternschanze, a historical fortress.

Hiking

There is a lot to see / to find on the Königstuhl - an interesting mountain with Celts, burial mounds and a volcanic vent rest on top. It is therefore worth planning the summit on the Lahnwanderweg.
