Traces of the Middle Ages
On parts of the Middle Ages path, which is parallel to Herrstein, you follow the traces of the past, e.g. the route of an old Roman road and a historic gallows site. You can learn about this time from the information boards on the Middle Ages path, including about Hildegard von Bingen, who was born nearby.
Herrstein town centre from the Middle Ages
The historic centre of Herrstein retains numerous half-timbered houses from the Middle Ages. The highlights are the castle church, clock tower, Schinderhannes tower and Hankelbrunnen well.
Tours May-Oct Thu 16.30, Sat 14.30 from the clock tower, on request at any time for groups. Torch and Schinderhannes tours.
