View of Lorchhausen and the Rhine

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful view of the small town of Lorchhausen. Some sheep and goats live on the slopes around Lorchhausen, which are used as landscape conservationists. They keep vegetation low and stabilize the earthy ground with their hooves.

This small town with a very special charm is hidden deep in the valley at the end of a cul-de-sac. The beautiful Sauerburg castle towers above the village, while below the small stream flows peacefully towards the Wisper.
