Castle Romance over the AartalThe Aar winds picturesquely through the mountainous landscape of the Hintertaunus, accompanied by steep forest slopes, rock sections, and meadows. Ruined castles testify to the territorial conflicts of interest between the House of Nassau and its neighbors. On the Aar Heights Trail, the history deeply embedded in the landscape can be wonderfully experienced. Those visiting Hohenstein Castle get an impression of power and its loss during the Middle Ages and early modern period. On the way back, one also comes across Roman remains and a charming villa.
