グロルスハイムの洞窟・トップ20

The castle has its origins in the early 14th century. With its towers and battlements, it really looks like you would imagine a medieval castle to be - a fairytale view directly over the Rhine.

from the castle battlements you always have a great view of the Rhine

the small bastion is reached via a narrow path, where the world heritage trail and tree spirit tour also goes along

The view from the small bastion is just great

A visit to this castle is worthwhile

The Rossel castle ruins were built in 1774 by Count Ostein on the highest elevation in the Niederwald. It is a popular tourist destination, especially because of its wonderful view of the Nahe estuary and the Binger Loch.

After the lost First World War, the areas on the left bank of the Rhine came under Allied occupation. Some bridgeheads on the right bank of the Rhine were also occupied, such as the area around Wiesbaden. The occupying power confiscated the Hindenburg Bridge for the traffic of their motor vehicles and banned rail traffic. In order to be able to drive over the bridge with cars and wagons, planks were laid between and next to the rails. It was only after a long time that a few trains were allowed to use the bridge. From October 8, 1920, the Reichsbahn allowed civil traffic to use the bridge, but reserved the right to revoke this at any time. They charged a fee of 4 Reichsmarks for driving over the bridge by car, a fee that was respectable at the time. Despite this, the bridge was frequently used by commercial motor vehicle traffic.

You have a great view from the Rossel :)
