First hiking vacation 2026. After arriving and about two hours by train, we first walked a bit and visited Nassau Castle. The slow pace was due to a longer stop at the castle cafe. Fair prices and friendly operators. From the climbable keep, you have a great view of Nassau and the Lahn valley.

The climb is worth it. It was pretty hot, but there was a cold drink waiting for me. I didn't eat the ox cheeks at the castle, but in Nassau.
