プロイシシュオルデンドルフ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Wonderful route. I went the red route from P7 and it was easy to follow. Special highlight today were the cranes (Kraniche) gathering there before their flight South. It was spectacular to hear and see them. Just wish I would have brought binoculars to see them better.

According to legend, the name is based on a sad story that is related to Limburg opposite. According to this, there was also a castle here on the Nonnenstein belonging to the Count of Rieneck. His daughter, Hildburga, was in love with the impoverished Prince of Limburg, but her father was looking for a better groom. He organized a tournament in which the Prince of Limburg also took part in disguise. When he won, the Count was so angry that he challenged him to a duel. The two rode at each other and collided with their lances so badly that both died. In her grief, Hildburga founded a monastery on the Nonnenstein and became the first abbess. But when she died, the nuns became more and more greedy. The Rödinghausen people joined forces and stormed the monastery and tore it down. They left the tower standing as a warning. Well, at least the last part of the legend can be refuted, because the Nonnenstein was only built in 1897. It was modernized and slightly raised, but unfortunately that is hardly enough to let your gaze wander into the distance. The Nonnenstein is still worth a visit, even if only for the lovely rest areas here and the audio contribution via QR code. In the neighborhood of the Nonnenstein there is also the Bismarck fire column, which offers a dry shelter.

Benkhausen Palace with Palace Park. The facility was largely renovated between 2010 and 2013. The park is freely accessible. There is a small circular hiking trail to the Mittelland Canal. There is coffee and cake in the Rentei. The vending machine museum is right next to the café.
