Great bike path and great view of Biedenkopf Castle.

All buildings are located on the early medieval castle complex of Kesterburg. However, excavations have provided evidence of a very early Celtic settlement in the area of the ramparts and the entrance was located here.

Mellnau Castle can be seen from far away. If you walk along the "Cuckoo Trail" you can enjoy the view from different sides. From the castle itself you have a wonderful view in all directions.

Very easy cycle path and you are also blessed with such beautiful views as here of Biedenkopf Castle.

The now dilapidated Mellnau Castle is currently only accessible to a limited extent, but it is still worth a visit. The first written mention of the imposing castle dates back to 1263, where it was referred to as "Elenhouch". It may have been built by Siegfried III. commissioned by Eppstein, the Archbishop of Mainz. He may have built it around 1248 as a replacement for the destroyed Hollende Castle. The 19 meter high keep, which can still be admired today, was completed in 1331 and is therefore almost seven hundred years old.

The Rapunzel Tower from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale

Beautiful view of the high Biedenkopf Castle

The tea house served the painter Otto Ubbelohde as a model for the Rapunzel Tower in his most famous illustration of the world-famous Grimm fairy tale. Whether on foot or by bike, the former manor is worth seeing for both nature lovers and history fans
