The new Roman West organ in the Protestant St. John's Church in Nassau, built in 2019, is a clear representation of the old North German Baroque organ school in a modern context. This relatively small organ features pipe scales and characteristics that largely reflect this old school. To achieve a similar effect to a larger organ, numerous double-stop stops were incorporated.

This section of the Lahn hiking and cycling path from the monastery to Nassau cannot currently be used. A section of the path on the mountain has been broken off and trees are lying across it. You have to drive/walk the 6 km from Obernhof to Nassau along the road.

This tower is always a fascinating sight. From the top you have a great view over the Taunus and Westerwald.
