The customs tower of the electors of Trier, a medieval solid building with a rounded narrow front, was built in 1348.
The Lahn formed the border between the electorate of Mainz and Trier until 1803. Customs was raised from 1565 to 1803. The Electorate of Trier benefited from the flourishing iron industry, the products of which were shipped via the Lahn. But because of the customs there were always quarrels between Kurtrier (Niederlahnstein) and Kurmainz, to which Oberlahnstein belonged.
In Niederlahnstein, the building is the lowest (65 m above sea level) and is therefore often affected by floods. It has a striking tower (customs tower), on the left outer facade of which flood marks from 1988, 1993, 1995 indicate the corresponding water level.

The former customs house is now part of the "Wirtshaus an der Lahn".

St. Alexandra Russian Orthodox Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The gilded dome shines brightly, visible from afar, and its prominent location near the Lahn River in Bad Ems – albeit on the opposite bank from the town center – piques the curiosity of many a hiker or stroller. Orthodox churches, belonging to the various denominations of the Eastern Orthodox Church, can be seen in Germany from time to time, but they are not all that common. This church, moreover – which is not always the case – warmly welcomes visitors (entrance fee 1 euro).

The sign on the entrance door prohibits photography, but the lady at reception allowed me to take a picture from the doorway (asking politely is often better than simply ignoring such a prohibition, which, unfortunately, happens all too often).

Quellenturm, Bad Ems

Highlight • Monument

Aside from its historical significance, the tower now serves as a kiosk for the surrounding mini golf course.
This is currently (02/2021) closed due to Corona and the area is fenced off.
