Beautiful, shady location at the confluence of the Almersbach and Wied, bench nearby. People have been making pilgrimages here since the 13th century through a ford. The beautifully situated Almersbach church with late Romanesque origins stands enthroned above.

It gets really steep at the bottom and since the road isn't the best, you really shouldn't drive at top speed here
