The boundary between the districts of Laufenselden and the state border between Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate. The name is used by the Aar loop "Freistaat Flaschenhals" (Free State Bottleneck) because the border also ran here during the occupation period after World War I.

A lovely feature at the Aare bend, which definitely makes climbing the embankment easier.

Near the hilltop there is a comfortable lounger, from which the view of Laufenselden and the Hintertaunus region is particularly appealing.

When we were there, they were setting up a play. The castle is beautiful, offers magnificent views, and I recommend climbing the towers.

The beautiful castle complex is open to the public during opening hours, and the towers are also accessible. A castle festival is also held in the summer. From the castle, there are—as you would expect—great views of the surrounding countryside.

Built of stone, high above stands the castle that once belonged to the counts. Derelict, forgotten – but now reborn, Hohenstein is once again becoming a magnificent castle. Once a knight's palace, now a ruin – but what a wonderful viewing platform! If you don't stop here, it's your own fault – the castle has charm, history, and patience.
