The Wartenstein Castle is idyllically situated on a slope above Kallenberg. The information center of the Soonwald-Nahe Nature Park as well as the permanent exhibition "Forest and Nature", where not only children can learn a lot about the animals and plants in the area, can be found in the cavalier house of the small castle.

The courtyard is very promising with a great landscape and an impressive view of the valley.

Here you can also rent holiday apartments and an event room. Nice flair but a bit remote
