The castle is free to visit. Please note the opening hours. There's a wedding room in the castle tower, and breathtaking views of the surrounding area can be enjoyed from the top of the tower. You can even see the Lahn River from up there. 😘

There's a road you can take to Nassau Castle by car 🥳😜. Please be careful there, as the lane won't have enough room for two cars if another car is coming the other way. There are passing bays here and there. Or you can take the path through the forest on foot 🤗. The Lahn hiking trail also runs partway there 🌞🫶😄
