Goethe Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is precisely here that Goethe, fleeing from an unhappy love, is said to have said: “Beautiful to die for!” Standing up here, you can only agree! Be careful, now …

For nature-loving and culturally interested people, Obernhof is a real gem. At the Massengeil-Beck winery and Haxel winery in Obernhof, excellent wines are offered on vine-covered terraces.

Arnstein Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

Nice climb, unfortunately on asphalt. From there you can either go through the Dörsbachtal to Singhofen or just get there. The monastery is also worth a short stay. Especially in summer it is worth visiting the cool walls.

View of Burg Nassau

Highlight • Viewpoint

I don't want to sound like a smartass. But you can see the castle from here, the castle (in the middle of Nassau) is difficult to see from here ;-)
