Sayn Castle

Highlight • Castle

Arriving at the parking lot of Sayn Castle, turn left onto the "Wirtschaftsweg" that leads to Sayn Castle. Here you will not only find a beautiful view of the Eifel and the Neuwied basin, but also a wonderful location in a historic ambience with good gastronomy.

View of Bendorf-Sayn, the abbey, and the Rhine from Oskarhöhe Shelter

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Oskarhöhe refuge offers a beautiful view of Bendorf Sayn, which extends to the Eifel in good weather. Directly in front of the hill to the Oskarhöhe refuge there is a turnoff that leads to an S3 trail that leads down into the valley in serpentines.
