Places of longing and relaxation... and with luck you can find a bench to enjoy the view

The value and significance of the Marksburg lie primarily in its complete preservation as a medieval fortification. For many visitors it is the epitome of a medieval castle. Its exposed location on a rocky cone 90 meters above the town of Braubach contributes to this. The imposing fortress with buildings mainly from the 13th to 15th centuries is staggered with a keep, several buildings, kennels and bastions. The typical interior rooms such as the castle kitchen, knights' hall, bower, chapel, armory, wine cellar, battlements and tower rooms are particularly worth seeing. They provide insights into medieval life.

After a constant up and down through the Hunsrück forest, it is nice to enjoy a view like this every now and then. This section of the Saar-Hunsrück Dream Loop offers hikers several of them.

The Lahn rises at the Lahntopf near Lahnhof in the southeastern Rothaar Mountains at an altitude of 625 m and flows into the Rhine in Lahnstein at an altitude of about 69 m at Rhine kilometer 585.7. The right or eastern tributary of the Rhine has a length of 245.6 km.

Stolzenfels Castle is a feast for the eyes.

A visit to this new palace and its gardens is also well worth it.

Built as Stolzenfels Castle by Trier Archbishop Arnold von Isenburg, it was used to collect the Rhine toll until 1412. In 1689 the French destroyed the castle during the War of the Palatinate Succession. After Napoleon's defeat, the complex became the property of the city of Koblenz. In 1823 the city finally donated the ruins to the Prussian Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm. After 1919, Stolzenfels Castle became the property of the Prussian Administration of State Palaces and Gardens. Today it belongs to the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Taking a tour along the Middle Rhine is really wonderful!
