View of Hachenburg Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The roundabout can be seen from far away. We took a break on the bench right next to it and found the place very beautiful.

The Cistercian Abbey of Marienstatt is a place of pilgrimage directly on the Nister near Hachenburg with its own brewery. Several long-distance hiking trails such as the Westerwald-Steig and the Druidensteig lead past the monastery.

Marienstatt Brewery

Highlight • Pub

Highly recommended! It is best to check whether the Brauhaus is open when you want to arrive.
Many attractions in the area. Many marked routes that pass.

More information about the Brauhaus (including opening hours) can be found here:

Marienstatt Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

A very beautiful monastery complex with an attached brewery. Your physical well-being is well taken care of! Very crowded at weekends, though, so visit on a normal weekday if possible.

Historic stone bridge at Marienstatt Abbey

Highlight • Bridge

The famous trade route, the Cologne-Leipzig Road, once ran over this historic monastery bridge. Coming from Altenkirchen, the route led from Kroppach through a ford across the Nister River near Heuzert to Marienstatt Monastery and then on to Kirburg.
