Attractions

There is an old boundary stone with the inscription HN / KP 25 in the district 250 meters northwest of measuring point 390.4 on the Nauberg site ; the Duchy of Nassau and the Kingdom of Prussia bordered here from 1815 when the County of Sayn-Altenkirchen came to Prussia. On one side it bears the inscription KP / GNRH / Nr. 25 , which means Kingdom of Prussia, district Nauroth, stone no. 25 , and on the opposite side the sign HN / GLKH / no. 25 , which means Duchy of Nassau, district Luckenbach, No. 25 . The annexation of Nassau by Prussia in 1866 made this boundary stone meaningless.
