This barrier-free city walk takes you through the history of Oberstein from its founding in the Middle Ages to modern times and shows the development of the market town into the world-famous jewelry and gemstone city. Smile at anecdotes, get to know the "Uwerstäner" dialect, and delve into the world of gemstones!
The route starts at the marketplace in the Oberstein district in front of the Tourist-Information EdelSteinLand below the Felsenkirche. Visitors have year-round access to the gemstone trail, as it is continuously asphalted. The 16 installed information boards invite visitors to engage intensively with the jewelry and gemstone city. Along the way, there are shopping opportunities as well as various sights such as the Felsenkirche, the German Mineral Museum, or the gemstone experience world. A visit is worthwhile in any case!
