Dillenburg old town and tower, as well as catacombs are worth seeing.

Braunfels Castle provided the romantic template and inspiration for numerous fairytale castle replicas! https://www.kuladig.de/Objektansicht/KLD-328374

The little detour to the castle ruins is worth it especially because of the great view! https://www.burgenwelt.org/deutschland/philippstein/object.php

I really liked the city.

Always worth a visit. Simply beautiful

Braunfels is about 15 minutes by car from Wetzlar and is a fascinating little idyll, dominated by half-timbered houses, on a mountainous hill, not far from the Lahn. Its sights include the Braunfels Castle, the zoo and the historic market square. For me, Braunfels is one of the top 10 sights in Hesse 👍

The town of Dillenburg laid the foundation for its importance as the seat of power of the Nassau-Dillenburg family early on. Although it was first mentioned in a document in 1254, it received city rights only 90 years later from King Ludwig IV of Bavaria. Wilhelm I of Orange was born here in April 1533. He organized the war of liberation in Dillenburg, gathered his followers at Ginsburg and is considered the founder of the Dutch royal family. Dillenburg recorded 600 deaths during the worst plague epidemics in history. In between, as a result of the Thirty Years' War, Dillenburg was sacked by the Swedes in 1634. The last prince of the House of Nassau-Dillenburg died in 1739. His inheritance passed to the related House of Orange-Nassau in the Netherlands. With the end of this principality, the connection to the Netherlands was broken and Dillenburg passed to the Duchy of Nassau. In modern times, Dillenburg was shaped by mining and iron processing, as is typical for the region.

The picturesque old town and the historic market square with its richly decorated half-timbered houses invite you to linger. Braunfels with its historic town center was first mentioned in the year 1246 as "Castellum Bruninfels". The history of the town is closely linked to the history of the castle and the counts of Solms-Braunfels. Some of the half-timbered houses on the flower-decorated market square and at the entrance to the old town offer comfortable overnight accommodation. Here, guests can touch the past. The entrance to the old town and the market square are the backdrop for all kinds of market activity. The exceptionally beautiful and lovingly maintained old town with its small shops is worth a visit at any time of year.
