ヴァイセンツルムの洞窟・トップ20

As so often over the centuries, only a ruin remains of the once imposing imperial castle (mentioned as such in documents in AD 1000). During the French occupation of the Rhineland, it suffered the typical fate: conquest and destruction.

Freely accessible. A rustic path leads up from the street. The view is great and you can take a break

Altwied Castle - an admirable gem from the 12th century, until 1653 the ancestral seat of the Counts of Wied, today's princely house. However, it is less due to the Princely House than to the Altwied Heimatverein founded in 1980 that it is still here and can be admired by us.

A little rest at the keep of the Hammerstein ruins, enjoying the view and unpacking a picnic - that's hiking fun!

A beautiful rocky root path leads to Sayn Castle. The castle was used by the Counts of Sayn-Wittgenstein as their family castle in the 12th century. Today, celebrations can be organized by the restaurant and bridal couples can be married in the registry office.

The castle, the gate and the old half-timbered houses create a nice picture.

as children we always imagined how criminals were locked in the dungeon

Very beautiful moated castle on the Rhine cycle path, definitely worth a visit.
