Martinsburg Castle, Lahnstein

Highlight • Castle

The Martinsburg, built at the end of the 14th century on the banks of the Rhine with a strong hexagonal keep, was a toll castle. The picturesque building complex was erected together with the town fortifications. The pointed arch gate in the east wall still shows a delicate machicolation with a coat of arms. The further tower and building parts were created in the 14th and 18th centuries.

Today, the castle is privately owned.

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!
