Beautiful vantage point with a bench.

From the ledge "praying nun" you have a fantastic view of the Rhine Valley. At the large wooden sculpture in the form of a praying nun, you realize that you are right. Find out more about the history of this place on a billboard.

Yes, they are really great trails with great views, but in some places you need to be sure-footed and not afraid of heights.

Nice view of the Rhine and Bad Salzig.
Since the Rhine is 250 meters wide here, it was previously used as a roadstead for the transport ships, which since the 17th century could only pass through the upstream "Binger Loch" with pilots.
In 1893–94 the Binger Loch was widened to 30 meters and in 1966–74 it was expanded to its current 120 meters. With additional tail units, pilots are no longer required since the 1990s.

The "Enemy Brothers" is a German legend about the neighboring castles Sterrenberg and Liebenstein, which you see from here on the other side of the valley. The story about the two brothers Heinrich and Konrad is said to have been first told in 1587. Both fell in love with the beautiful Hildegard. That this does not end with a happy ending, is somehow foreseeable ... If you want to read more: The legend is the subject of the poem "Two brothers" by Heinrich Heine in the book of songs.
