Here Stolzenfels Castle from the 13th century... only expanded into a castle complex at the beginning of the 19th century...

Lahneck Castle

Highlight • Castle

Lahneck Castle rises on the right bank of the Rhine above Lahnstein. The river Lahn also flows past on its flank. For me, the castle Lahneck places a high value on its sights. It is a very compact and rustic castle that radiates a lot of power. The premises, kitchen, rooms etc. are authentically furnished. The floor in the Knights' Hall is made of marble in which fossils are visible. The keep has a fantastic view. For castles fans an absolute must.

Dragon Bench on the Lahnhöhenweg

Highlight • Structure

Staring dragon on the hiking trail.
The mythical creature from myths, sagas, legends and fairy tales - known as a monster hostile to God and man - today invites hikers to take a leisurely rest at the Mückekopf. A great work of art on the Lahnhöhenweg (West). Very nice - thank you!

A beautiful path with many hints to tree species and life in the forest. The lawn chairs with a view of the Rhine are a real highlight.

Finally found some time today at optimal temperatures to do a little "house tour":
Start was the Grenbach in Lahnstein. From there it went uphill in the direction of the Lahnsteinerhöhe. In Grenbach I turned onto the nature trail that leads past allotment gardens and weekend cottages to the spa center on the Lahnsteinerhöhe. Here you can explore the spa …

The tour starts near the town hall in Oberlahnstein and leads through the town uphill through forest and meadow areas to the Koppelstein nature reserve. It continues through the spa park and the Brucker medicinal herb garden to Lahneck Castle. Downhill you come back to the starting point, from where you can make a detour to the Rhine.
