Destination Wilhelmsteine
The Wilhelmsteine, formerly known as Buchsteine, are an impressive group of iron flint rocks located on the south-southeastern heights of the Angelburg in the Gladenbach Upland. Situated in the municipality of Siegbach in the Lahn-Dill district of Hesse, they are a geosite and part of the Westerwald-Lahn-Taunus National Geopark. The tallest rocks in the group rise about 15 meters and form a striking landscape feature, also known as a "rock castle".
The Wilhelmsteine were named after Duke Wilhelm I of Nassau, who visited the rock formation in 1830. In his honor, they were renamed after his death in 1839. Geologically, the Wilhelmsteine were formed by submarine volcanism in the Upper Devonian, about 360 million years ago.
Today, the Wilhelmsteine are a popular hiking destination and offer several permanent barbecue areas for visitors. Traditionally, events such as forest church services take place here on May 1st and Ascension Day.
