Hiking

Limburg Castle (also known as Limburg Palace) is located directly behind the cathedral on Cathedral Hill. It was built in the early Middle Ages to secure the crossing of the Lahn River and served as the seat of the counts of the Gau (district). Later, it was expanded into a palace. Today, it houses the city archives and offers an impressive view over the old town.
