One of the few places where you can see the Rhine. The vegetation has also increased, so the view is beautiful, but no longer "incredible."

Altwied, with its many half-timbered houses, is always worth a visit. There are castle ruins, an entrance gate, an old tower, and much more to discover. There's a large parking lot in front of the gate, and there's also a restaurant.
