Thank you for your comment! 😊 I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the Felsenkirche.

Indeed, above the church, you can find the ruins of Bosselstein Castle, which was built in the 12th century. This historic fortress was once an important stronghold of the Lords of Stein. Today, only the round keep and parts of the surrounding walls remain, but despite its crumbling state, the castle offers an incredible view of the Nahe Valley and is well worth a visit for hikers and history enthusiasts.

If you have the chance, a trip to Bosselstein Castle could give you even more insight into the history of the region.

Thank you very much for the offer, when I visit you for sure I will be very happy to receive as much information as possible about its history and that of the region.

Best regards.
