Sichertshausen Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Nice view of the Lahn valley. Unfortunately only a poor seat in front of the site. Access to the refuge is blocked off.

It's worth climbing the tower of the castle. The gaze wanders into the distance and the heart opens. A wonderful vantage point that I always enjoy climbing up the narrow spiral staircase. The view is worth it, as is the entire well-restored ruin.

Staufenberg town gate and bell tower

Highlight • Monument

The gate tower was part of the city wall built around 1400. The tower not only has a clockwork, but also four bells from the 15th and 16th centuries, which are listed monuments, and was therefore not only a city gate, but also a bell tower at the same time.

Pedunculate Oak at Gutshof Friedelhausen

Highlight • Natural Monument

This style oak (Quercus robur) stands in front of the manor near Friedelhausen Castle. This is a multi-trunk which on the one hand makes determining the age a bit difficult and on the other hand the tree therefore has such a large trunk circumference which should be unusual for its age. The trunk circumference at a height of 1.30 meters is 5.80 meters and the oak is exactly 23 meters high.
