ホールガーテンのおすすめツーリングルート

アルゼンツの旧市庁舎は、ノルトプファルツで最も美しく、最も重要なルネサンス様式の建物の一つとされています。印象的な壮麗な建物は1578年に建てられ、その伝統的な混合建築様式が特徴です。1階は広々とした円弧状のアーケードを持つ頑丈な石造りですが、2階は特に芸術的で装飾豊かな木骨造りが印象的です。1階の開放的なホールは、何世紀にもわたり市場と裁判所の両方の重要な機能を果たし、南東の壁には1714年の歴史的な検定印が今も残っています。 建物が200年以上地域の政治的中心として機能した後、1785年に自治体はまず移転しました。しかし、1963年から1970年の包括的な改修と修復の後、自治体は戻り、歴史的な建造物は今日まで市議会の会議室として利用されています。さらに、上の階には郷土史博物館とノルトプファルツ・ギャラリーがあり、訪問者は地域の時代の証人、18世紀の境界線地図、ノルトプファルツの著名人の肖像画を見ることができます。

Rotenfels: Alpine feeling on the bike path! ​Watch out, a giant is in sight! Shortly after Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg, you pass the Rotenfels massif, the highest cliff face in Germany north of the Alps. We're talking about over 200 meters of pure rock, rising vertically above the Nahe River. ​This isn't a hill anymore; it's a geological shocker! The entire mass consists of reddish porphyry rock, which glows fiery red, especially in the evening (or in good light). Truly spectacular. ​From the bike path, you can see the full force of it. You suddenly feel very small, which can be quite relaxing after 50 kilometers in the saddle. ​Fun fact: Up on the Rotenfels is a climbing area – only for pros! I prefer to stay on my 25mm tire asphalt and enjoy the view from below. No need to climb too high; the panorama from here is already unbeatable! ​My tip: Stop and enjoy the moment. Take a photo with this rock colossus as proof.

​👑 Rheingrafenstein Castle Ruins – The Rock Boss on the Cycle Path ​Tip: Stop here! The Rheingrafenstein ruins sit dramatically perched on a 136-meter-high porphyry cliff above the Nahe River – one of the most impressive sights of the entire tour. The castle was the ancestral seat of the famous Wildgraves and Rhinegraves (until it was blown up in 1689). ​The view from the cycle path is phenomenal! If you really want to go up (and have enough energy), you can take the small hand-pulled ferry across and take the steep hiking trail to the ruins. It's worth it for the view over the Nahe Valley, but honestly: My legs were already tired enough from cycling. The panoramic view from below is worth its weight in gold! A must-have for your photo collection!

Rheingrafenstein Castle sits enthroned on a steep porphyry cliff (245 meters high) directly above the Nahe River near Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg. Legend has it that the devil himself built the castle—a reference to its dramatic location and mystical aura. In fact, it likely dates back to the 11th century and was the ancestral seat of the Lords of Stein, later the Wildgraves and Rhinegraves. In 1689, it was blown up by French troops under Louis XIV, and since then it has been a ruin—but an extremely impressive one.
