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

Along the way, you will repeatedly find artistic installations and sculptures that are harmoniously integrated into the landscape and enrich the hiking trail with a cultural component.

I almost whizzed past it in a flash. The spring rises just to the right of the path, then flows into the Lahn River 4 meters further on. So the water has a very short path to take to reach its mouth.

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.

The steel structure can be seen from afar. The completion of the Lahn Cycle Path in the Gabelstein Nature Reserve has been a long time coming. I would have preferred the bridge to be more "natural."
