3. Hoxeler Viaduct near Morbach-Hoxel: Structure of the Hunsrückbahn
The impressive Hoxeler Viaduct spans 42 meters with its 8 arches over the valley floor at a dizzying height. The disused railway bridge has a moving history and had to withstand numerous attacks during World War II.
4. Rotenfels: A real eye-catcher from below and above
The highest sheer rock face between the Alps and Scandinavia is an absolute spectacle from far and near. Standing in front of this rock mass, one recognizes its uniqueness, but from above, the Rotenfels also offers visitors unique photo opportunities and a breathtaking view of the Nahe and its surroundings.
5. Wind Sound Sculpture Erbeskopf: Hits the Right Note
Directly at the Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park stands the walkable observation platform “Wind Sound Sculpture” on the Erbeskopf. In an impressive way, it connects the Hunsrück nature with the elements at the highest mountain in Rhineland-Palatinate and offers visitors a fantastic view far beyond the national park.
6. Felsenkirche in Idar-Oberstein: An architectural masterpiece
Unique in Germany and almost in the whole world – this church built into the steep rock face towers over the town of Idar-Oberstein and is its unmistakable landmark. Impressive and beautiful from the outside – and it can also be visited from the inside.
7. Bridge Houses in Bad Kreuznach: Landmarks with Charm
In a dreamlike setting, the bridge houses of Bad Kreuznach seem to almost float above the Nahe – in reality, the massive bridge pillars of the Old Nahe Bridge support the two historic buildings, which are an ideal photo opportunity. No matter from which side you look, the bridge houses are a real eye-catcher.
8. Rock Hermitage near Bretzenheim: A millennia-old structure
There is probably no Instagram hotspot as old as this cult site carved into the rocks from before Christ. Until 1827, the "apartment" was inhabited, today its remains are an impressive testament to the time and a great photo opportunity. Especially in the sunlight, the red rock creates a magical atmosphere.
9. Grimburg near Hermeskeil: Off to the Fairy Tale Hour
As a former state castle of the Archbishops of Trier, Grimburg offers a great backdrop for weddings and there are various programs for guests. The castle is located in the midst of nature. Here you can enjoy the expanses of the Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park in the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park.
