Bretthausen

Bretthausen is nestled between rolling hills and green forests on the edge of the Westerwald. The region is known for its breathtaking scenery with numerous hiking and cycling trails as well as picturesque villages and historical sites.

Sights relevant to tourism include Montabaur Castle, an impressive 17th century fortress, and Marienstatt Monastery with its magnificent baroque church. Cultural highlights include the annual Medieval Festival at Montabaur Castle or the concerts at Marienstatt Monastery.

Bretthausen also has a lot to offer in the way of culinary delights: Be sure to try the regional specialities such as potato soup with smoked trout or the famous "Westerwälder Spießbraten". For those with a sweet tooth, we recommend a visit to the local bakery, where fresh baked goods and delicious cake creations are on offer.

The best season for outdoor activities is spring to autumn. Hike through dense forests or climb the neighbouring Fuchskaute mountain - from here you have a spectacular view of the entire region. In winter, you can go sledding or take a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride through the snow-covered forest.

When it rains, there is also plenty to discover in Bretthausen: Visit the local history museum and learn more about the history of the village or relax with a massage at the local spa.

However, Bretthausen is simply most beautiful when you leisurely stroll through the picturesque streets and enjoy the peaceful country life. A destination that is definitely worth a visit - let our Travel Guide inspire you!
