Above the Rhine, a magical world awaits hikers and strollers – the decorative forest of Count Karl Maximilian von Ostein, which was established around 250 years ago as a unique garden monument – as a symbiosis of nature, ornamental buildings, and the Rhine. Count von Ostein particularly staged the mountain height and the river view in a congenial manner. People have loved and continue to love to stroll in the Ostein Park. So did the poet Clemens Brentano, a forerunner of literary Rhine romanticism and the creator of perhaps the most popular Rhine myth, the Loreley. Did the mythical-looking park with its dense oak forest, artificial temples and ruins, as well as a 60-meter-long magic cave inspire him for his "Rhine tales"?
