The small detour to the weir is worth it. Great view of the Simmerbach, which is wide here and flows through the weir, which was renatured in 2006.

You should definitely go to the cathedral and monastery. We walked along the village street to have a look at the village. Then we go up a staircase on the left (Soonalssteig sign). The monastery was founded in 1074 as an Augustinian canonry. In 1410 it became part of the Duchy of Palatinate-Simmern and developed into the largest landowner between the Moselle and Nahe. In 1564 it became part of the Duchy of Simmern after Palatinate-Simmern was reformed in 1557. Like so many other things in our homeland, it was burned down and destroyed during the Thirty Years' War and rebuilt in its current form by Elector Charles III Philipp of the Palatinate between 1718 and 1722. The mighty towers date from the 12th century.
