ベルスベルク周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

The "four-arched stone bridge, 1st half of the 18th century" was declared a monument zone in 1985 together with the monastery complex under the name "Monastery Marienstatt southwest of Streithausen". See: https://www.kuladig.de/Object-View/KLD-290380

The famous trade route, the Cologne-Leipzig road, once led over this historic monastery bridge. Coming from Altenkirchen, the route led from Kroppach through a ford across the Nister near Heuzert to Marienstatt Abbey and on via Hachenburg to Kirburg and finally to Leipzig.

A highlight of the slate mine is the opportunity to descend 20 meters into the tunnel. The mine has served as a supplier of slate roof tiles for Marienstatt Abbey and Hachenburg Castle since the Middle Ages. Having fallen into oblivion and only discovered by chance in an old document, the mine was rediscovered after a 17-year search and subsequently restored. Located directly on the Westerwaldsteig hiking trail, the mine is open to visitors year-round.

In the Assberg slate mine you can learn a lot about slate mining in Kroppacher Switzerland. Among other things, a tour at a depth of 20 meters is possible. But I don't want to reveal more. ;)

From here you can see the nest and its inhabitants well.

nice stop for a tour

A nice old bridge to many sights.

The Cistercian Abbey of Marienstatt is a place of pilgrimage directly on the Nister near Hachenburg with its own brewery. Several long-distance hiking trails such as the Westerwald-Steig and the Druidensteig lead past the monastery.
