Other places are also a highlight here. Then it can be Rachelshausen too.
Rachelshausen is the highest district of Gladenbach. It is located northwest of Gladenbach in the Gladenbacher Bergland and thus in the Lahn-Dill-Bergland nature park directly at the 552 m high Daubhaus. The hiking routes Gladenbacher Berglandring and Lahn-Dill-Bergland-Path lead through Rachelshausen. The village was first mentioned in a document in 1336 as a revenge boldishusin.
Rachelshausen became famous for its quarry where the Rachelshausen diabase was mined. Diabase originated in the Lahn-Dill-Bergland in the Devonian and Lower Carboniferous. They penetrated the weak zones of the earth's crust that arose at the beginning of the folding of the Rhenish Slate Mountains. Today they appear as gangue rock, partly also as deck diabase, which penetrated to the surface of the earth and then spread as blanket fumes. Sometimes the diabase also emerged from the seabed. As a result, they solidified as so-called pillow lava in round sack or pillow-shaped shapes. The outer crust of these “pillows” solidified as a result of the reaction with sea water to form a “gals” that weathered much faster than the actual diabase. As a result, large, round blocks with an irregular pitted surface can be found in the higher parts of the diabase exposure, which the stone industry usually calls boulders and which were used as "gem stones" in gardening and landscaping.
Another attraction in Rachelshausen is the Evangelical Chapel in Rachelshausen. This was probably built in 1626/1627.
