Turn-by-turn directions
The Rimbergturm was destroyed by a storm in 1971 and rebuilt in 1997 by the district of Marburg-Biedenkopf which was supported by neighboring communities as well as private donations. From the top you have a wonderful view as far as the Vogelsberg, the Taunus and the Rothaargebirge You will also find a refuge. Walking on narrow paths and wide trails you will be taken downhill to a rest area with a great panoramic view. Afterwards the trail will lead across the field with some more beautiful views and guide you along the edge of the forest. Damshausen lies in the upcoming valley.
You will cross the woods and get out of it again next to two small ponds. Across meadows and fields, the path leads into the next wooded area where you will walk past the ruins of the double Hohenfels castle. Since 1997 the Hohenfels Castle Association has been researching and preserving the castle ruins with the help of the University of Marburg. Keep right behind the castle and take a relaxed stroll down through the forest. You will soon reach Buchenau with the Lahn bridge and the town center.
