If you drive towards Lahnsgtein, this is the first place from which you see Stolzenfels Castle. However, unlike Marksburg, Stolzenfels is not an original building structure. The neo-Gothic building was built between 1836 and 1842.

Very well preserved. Called the Castle of the Sun because it shines in the sun for a very long time and its stones are so bright.

From Lahnstein we went on the bike path in the direction of Braubach. From Braubach the cycle path runs parallel to the B 42 to Osterspai. Unfortunately, in Osterspai you have to switch to the B 42, but only as far as the end of the town, where you can drive back onto a cycle path that leads to Kestert …
