Goethe Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is precisely here that Goethe, fleeing from an unhappy love, is said to have said: “Beautiful to die for!” Standing up here, you can only agree! Be careful, now …

As already mentioned, a beautiful place in the Lahn Valley.

Arnstein Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

Nice climb, unfortunately on asphalt. From there you can either go through the Dörsbachtal to Singhofen or just get there. The monastery is also worth a short stay. Especially in summer it is worth visiting the cool walls.
