フロンハウゼンの洞窟・トップ20

From the Frauenberg castle ruins you have a wonderful view in all directions at any time of year. But be careful: sometimes a very cold wind blows up there! So dress warmly!

Beautiful in every season and always great reflections

The Rauischer Hof, which was built around 1500 by the Lords of Rau, is a manor house in Rauischholzhausen. With its three-storey half-timbering and roof turrets, it is a landmark for the town in Erbsdorfergrund. In 1873 it became the property of Ferdinand Eduard von Stumm, who had the castle, castle park and castle pond built. In 1938 it was the property of the Wilhelm G. Kerkhoff Foundation, which leased it to the Justus Liebig University in Giessen as a teaching and experimental facility.

Gleiberg Castle is a must and is a highlight of the hike: Here the tower with its 149 steps is open and we experience one of the most amazing 360 degree panoramic views on the Lahn hiking trail, admittedly the weather should be right: just a few clouds so that the sky isn't so boringly blue and little haze. The two castles Vetzberg and Gleiberg are such beautiful photo models, the Dünsberg keeps forcing its way into the picture and I can't stop taking photos. It's hard to believe that both castles are the same height at 310 and 308 meters, but the Gleiberg view + ruins are unbeatable.

The Rauischholzhausen Castle with its park with old trees is a real highlight in the Ebsdorfergrund and is always worth a visit. From the castle you can go deeper and deeper into the castle park on various paths/paths until it then merges seamlessly into the forest towards Dreihausen or Wittelsberg or towards Höingen.

The building looks like a real fairytale castle. The 'private' and 'no trespassing' probably doesn't apply to some cyclists.

Gleiberg Castle, located on a striking 308 m high basalt cone, is the landmark of the Gleiberg region that can be seen from afar and is a popular tourist destination. Information about the castle can be found here: https://www.burg-gleiberg.de/ The castle and observation tower were open on a Monday, admission was free. The view from above is worth it!

The Frauenberg castle ruins have flair: It is a beautiful ruin with history, whose viewing platform offers a fantastic view in almost any weather and at any time of year. In her time, Sophie of Brabant certainly appreciated the view from her “living room”.
