Stahlberg Castle is the ruin of a spur castle in a side valley on a mountain spur above the Steeg district of the town of Bacharach. The castle was probably built on behalf of the Archbishops of Cologne, possibly also as a counter-castle to Stahleck Castle. A very beautiful architecture. Very nice place.

Northeast of the Ellerspring summit is the 107 m high Ellerspring radio tower, which was built as a type tower FMT 11 in reinforced concrete. It is owned by Deutsche Telekom AG. TV and radio stations used to be fed into the cable from there. The tower supplied the districts of Bad Kreuznach, Birkenfeld, Mainz-Bingen and Alzey-Worms as well as the Rhein-Hunsrück district and Donnersberg district. Today it only serves as a reserve for TV and radio, but forwards the signal for cable TV via radio relay to the Bad Kreuznach radio tower for supplying Bad Kreuznach.
