必看景點

As well as the stunning scenery, there are 300 castles, fortresses, churches and other fortified building.

1 Wittgenstein Castle. The 12th-century castle served as the residence of the princes of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein until 1950. Then it was converted into a school and the Internet and is still used today. 2 Fronhausen Castle. In 1367 the lower castle was built as a Hessian fief and in 1917 it was returned to private ownership. The lower castle in Fronhausen is an original moated castle and later a castle. The lower castle, the foundations of which have been preserved in the new building and whose former moats have been lost in today's park, shows the well-preserved castle, a large Gothic stone building with cross-story windows and a baroque mansard roof, the gate construction of which is connected to a farm building. 3 Friedelhausen Castle. Nice photogenic castle, but not open to the public. Private. Still worth the visit. The oldest building is the Old Castle, today part of the manor was built in 1564. The New Castle was built in 1851. The estate still belongs to the counts of Schwerin. The new castle is closely based on the English, classicist form of the neo-Gothic, the Tudor Gothic. It is a two-story cubic building with a crenellated crown and a flat roof. The corners of the building are flanked by turrets. 4 Castle Badenburg. Castle ruins with a very well-known restaurant (Badenburg Ritterkeller). The castle is located on the banks of the Lahn, slightly above the rapids there. The lords of Badenburg had controlled an important riverside path since the 14th century, which was the most important connection between Lollar and Gießen until the 19th century 5 Staufenberg Castle. The castle was first mentioned in 1233 and has been destroyed several times in its eventful history. In 1858 the princes of Hessen-Darmstadt, who studied in Gießen, acquired the lower castle and had it restored. The upper castle, of which part of the palace has survived, has bee

Between Gießen and Limburg, the Lahn is one of the most beautiful water hiking routes in Germany for paddlers. Between Löhnberg and Limburg it flows quietly and idyllically through a lovely landscape away from traffic. There are numerous locks that have to be operated by hand. From Limburg the locks are electrified and a few motor yachts and excursion steamers use the river. It has less gradient here, so you have to exert more strength when paddling. The Diez – Laurenburg section is particularly scenic and traffic-free. The highlight of the route is the ship tunnel in Weilburg with the subsequent double lock. Important: For nature conservation reasons, only the official entry and exit points may be used to insert boats! Disadvantage of the river: Especially during the holiday season and on weekends / public holidays, the river is
