The Ruppertsklamm is recommended to all nature enthusiasts. Sturdy, waterproof shoes are advantageous, as you sometimes have to step into the stream. Depending on the weather, it can carry quite a bit of water.

A wonderful little place and the heart of the idealistic re-emergence of Lahn wine. A centuries-old tradition that had (almost) died out, but has been revived thanks to the enthusiasm of individuals since the early 2000s!

The castle is free to visit. Please note the opening hours. There's a wedding room in the castle tower, and breathtaking views of the surrounding area can be enjoyed from the top of the tower. You can even see the Lahn River from up there. 😘
