St. John's Church, beautiful to look at. Exterior with flood marks

The Johanneskirche in Niederlahnstein was built around 1130-1136 and is one of the oldest gallery churches on the Middle Rhine. In 1906 it became a monastery church and was integrated into the construction of a tasting facility.

Beautiful vantage point with a wide view over Koblenz and the Rhine Valley. In addition to a large brick shelter, there are numerous seating options and a large summit cross. Perfect place for a rest😉👍

A fourth tower, which was built towards the end of the The church, which was built in the 12th century, collapsed in 1884 as a result of a fire in 1794.

It is definitely worth climbing the stairs to the "Hohe Lay" view. There you have a nice view and a bench.

A great church on the bike path !!!
