Salinental Graduation Towers

Highlight • Monument

Not only nice to drive past, but also to take a deep breath and breathe in the brine mist. It is best to plan a quarter of an hour for this.

View of Rheingrafenstein Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very beautiful landscape.
View from the town of Bad Münster am Stein.
Its origins are legendary: the devil is said to have built the castle on the steep, 245 m high porphyry rock. What is certain is that it dates back to the 11th century and was the ancestral home of the Lords of Stein, the later Wild and Rhine Counts.
Since the French troops of Louis XIV blew up the castle in 1689, it has been a ruin and at the same time a landmark of Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg.
The somewhat steep climb is rewarded with a wonderful view of the district and the surrounding area. The Rheingrafenstein castle ruins are located directly and conspicuously in the Bad Münster am Stein district on the other side of the Nahe. The ascent begins adventurously with the crossing of the hand-pulled ferry; it takes about 30 minutes.
In the ferry-free winter time, the Rheingrafenstein can also be easily hiked via the Speckerbrücke in the Ebernburg district.
Definitely worth seeing!

Rotenfels Cliff

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Rotenfels is quite unique in this area not only because of its appearance. It is considered the highest rock face between the Alps and Scandinavia, is of volcanic origin, very popular with climbers and is the habitat of many plants and animals, especially birds of prey. If you take a little break here, you can be sure that you will get to see something interesting.

Great view of Oberhausen an der Nahe.
There is a large chestnut tree in front of the entrance to the Niederhausen-Schloßböckelheim winery.
After the ascent you should take a short break here to enjoy the view!
