    Hiking

    The Frauenburg Castle was built in the 13th century to secure the Nahe crossing and the possessions of the Count of Sponheim. The complex later served as a widow's residence for Countess Loretta of Sponheim, and the Dream Loop hike is dedicated to her. The ruins were extensively restored between 2013 and 2015 and are now in excellent condition. A must-see!
