A very interesting castle ruin. Its construction began between 1310 and 1320. In 1332, Ludwig III took up residence in the castle and from then on called himself Walpode von der Neuerburg, Lord of Reichenstein. In 1523, the castle came into the possession of the Counts of Wied, who had it destroyed in 1618 after it had already fallen into considerable disrepair. Today, the Reichenstein castle ruins are privately owned and therefore not normally open to the public. Those wishing to visit the castle can book a guided tour through the local support association (by telephone). Additionally, the castle ruins are opened to the public on certain dates (during the summer). These dates are announced online by the support association.

Great valley, highly recommended

Already written in the analog highlight...

A small highlight in Rhineland-Palatinate. The almost continuous cycle path is really great.

"The Catholic Church of St. Mary Magdalene is a late Romanesque neo-Romanesque quarry stone basilica. The church was built in its current form in 1902 according to plans by government architect Heinrich Krings of Cologne. The Romanesque flanking tower was raised by one story and incorporated into the new building. In the church park, there is a monument commemorating the great son of the Horhausen community, Cologne Cardinal Joseph Höffner, who died in 1987, and his diverse work." https://www.vg-altenkirchen-flammersfeld.de/kirchen/horhausen

More on the castle's interesting history: https://www.kuladig.de/Objektansicht/O-98105-20140804-3 It's nice that the complex perched on the spur has been preserved and that stylistically successful additions are possible today. Otherwise, they are nothing but lifeless, hollow, expensive, and often littered remnants of facades/structures/quarries. In the Middle Ages, these were also only partially livable as security-related functional buildings. This means they have a future again.
