Very nice hiking trail from Melsbach via Altwied and Laubachsmühle, back up to the waterfall

We had a scout camp at the castle over Pentecost. All the children liked the castle. Ample space for tents and games.

If you hope to be able to visit the castle ruins in Altwied, I have to disappoint you. The castle ruins have not been accessible to visitors for years because everything has been closed. If you talk to the residents all around you get told that no one cares about it anymore, which they also think is a shame. The village around is also very beautiful and you can also take a nice walk to a watchtower which is at the end of the village. At the beginning of the village there is a large parking lot where you can leave your car and go for a walk.

A ruin only visible from the outside. Unfortunately, the gate is closed and therefore a visit is not possible. Very bad! You can save yourself the ascent. There are also no opening times available/visible. Here you can make a lot more out of it !!! Visit the defense tower at the end of the village ;-)

The Altwied castle ruins are located directly above the historic old town of Altwied. The first areas of the castle were built around 1100. The castle was until the 17th century, after which the castle fell into disrepair. Only a ruin remains of the once magnificent castle, which cannot be visited either. But on a hike around Altwied you can see the ruins again and again and they are still a great photo motif.
