Geographically, Friedewald lies on the edge of the Nassau Nature Park and borders the Rhine-Lahn district and the Neuwied district. The region is characterised by its rolling hills, dense forests and clear streams. A true oasis for hikers and nature lovers!

The numerous castles and palaces in the area, such as Altenwied Castle or Sayn Castle with its famous butterfly garden, are particularly worth seeing.

Culturally, Friedewald has a lot to offer: The Wilnsdorf Museum shows impressive exhibitions on the history of the region, while the Marienthal Monastery gives an insight into the life of monks. There is also no shortage of artistic attractions - concerts are held regularly at the Kulturwerk Wissen.

For culinary delights, regional specialities such as potato dishes or hearty stews with grilled meat are available. Those who like sweets should definitely try the famous "Westerwälder Spitzkuchen".

The best outdoor activities can be varied depending on the season: In summer, bathing lakes such as the Dreifelder Weiher or the Postweiher lure you to swim and sunbathe. In winter, there is wonderful skiing on the surrounding mountains such as the Fuchskaute or the Stegskopf.

But even in bad weather, there is plenty to do in Friedewald: The adventure mine Grube Bindweide offers exciting insights into underground work, while the indoor swimming pool Bad Marienberg provides water fun.

All in all, Friedewald is a perfect destination for everyone who loves nature, culture and culinary delights. Visit us and let yourself be enchanted by this idyllic spot in Germany!
