The Catholic St. Remigius Church is a stop on the European "Star Trail," which marks medieval cultural monuments along the European Way of St. James (Palatinate, Saarland, Alsace, Lorraine) with stone scallop shells. At this church, the scallop shell is located to the right of the main entrance door; a corresponding (red) information panel can be found on the building wall to the right of this church door.

The Michelsburg Castle and the neighboring former provost church of St. Remigius on the Remigiusberg near Haschbach, in the center of the Glan Valley, are the historical heart of the Remigiusland region. The first documented mention of an illegally built hilltop castle dates back to 1127, when Benedictine monks purchased it from a knight named Adelbert. The monks used the stones of the former castle to build the Benedictine provost church of St. Remigi, the remnant of which is the Remigius Church. Count Henry II of Zweibrücken built a second castle out of wood in 1260 – during the inheritance disputes of the counts of Veldenz – after the first male line of counts of Veldenz had died out in 1259. This castle was later expanded and furnished with stone, and a chapel (dedicated to St. Michael) was built inside. In 1543, Count Palatine Rupert of Veldenz made the castle his secondary residence and had a princely crypt built in the provost church. Little is known about what happened to the castle in later centuries, but it was reportedly still intact in 1708 and changed hands several times. In 1868, it came into the possession of the St. Remigiusberg Catholic Church Foundation. Today, the 20-meter-high shield wall, remnants of the palace, the curtain wall, and the moat are preserved.

In 1127, an illegally built hilltop castle was documented when Benedictine monks purchased it from a knight named Adelbert. The monks used the stones of the former castle to build the Benedictine provost church of St. Remigi, a branch monastery of the Abbey of St. Remy near Reims. The remnant of this provost church is the Remigius Church. In 1543, Count Palatine Rupert of Veldenz had a princely crypt built in the provost church. The crypt contains the remains of 14 members of the princely family. The monastery was dissolved in 1550 during the Reformation. Of the original Romanesque, three-aisled, cross-pillar basilica, only part of the central nave, a stone chapel, and the bell tower remain today. Remains of the former monastery complex are located beneath the sacristy and the restaurant rooms. The boundary wall of the restaurant terrace is the remains of the southern wing of the monastery. The name Remigius is a reference to Saint Remigius, Bishop of Reims.

The Ottilienquelle spring was created in 1894 by Johann Baptist Moser and named in honor of his wife and daughter. It is located on an old Philippsgrube mine tunnel and is now a popular resting place. The current shelter dates from 1977.

The "Yellow Water" is the drainage tunnel of the Davidskrone mercury mine near Föckelberg, which was closed in 1860. It was founded in 1781 by Philipp Schildt and named after the carpenter David Kron. The yellow color of the water comes from the iron-rich ochre that is washed out of the rock.
