Today, the youth hostel and the museum are located here. In earlier times, the castle also served temporarily as a prison.

Here the water flows over moss-covered stones in several stages, forming a series of beautiful, natural cascades depending on the water level.

The Gelbachtal Trail near Witzenborn is a varied and natural section of the route, which particularly impresses with its combination of quiet forest paths, moderate climbs, and impressive views.

An exciting, very narrow path along the Lahn loop around Dietz. It's not flat, not smooth, with a few rocks and roots, but it's no problem with a mountain bike.

The path runs along the Gelbach stream in a natural setting and provides shade in the summer. It's interesting for hikers, cyclists, and mountain bikers.
