Viewpoint of Siegwasserfall

Highlight • Viewpoint

You have a great view of the waterfall. It's usually quite crowded on the weekends, so go there during the weekday or early in the morning and enjoy the peace and quiet.

It can be doubted that the RTL production “Demon Wedding” was a high point in the 800-year history of the castle. The symbol of the municipality of Windeck in the Siegtal has seen completely different things since it was first mentioned in 1174 as “Castrum novum in windeke”. The castle was destroyed several times in later centuries and threatened to deteriorate completely before the Siegkreis had the Palas wall rebuilt and the keep secured in the 1960s. Archaeological investigations uncovered a floor plan that gives an idea of the imposing dimensions of the castle.
