Impressive main tower and great location above the village of Grenzau. Check the opening times, otherwise you'll find the door locked.

Brexbachtal Railway Tunnel and Stream

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Very nice and easy hike along the Brexbach. Mostly on narrow paths you cross the old, disused railway line again and again.

From the car park on the way to Grenzau Castle, the hike is leisurely uphill. I pass the castle, the path turns right and I soon reach the Kaiserstuhl under shady trees.
