Otzberg is a municipality in the district of Darmstadt-Dieburg, located in the Odenwald forest region of Germany. It was founded in 1972 by the merger of six former independent municipalities. Otzberg consists of seven villages: Habitzheim, Hering, Lengfeld with Zipfen, Nieder-Klingen, Ober-Klingen and Ober-Nauses, and Schloss-Nauses.

The Best Attractions In Otzberg

1. Veste Otzberg Otzberg
Otzberg Castle in the German state of Hesse is a medieval castle on the summit of the Otzberg in the Odenwald forest at a height of 367 m above NN. On its northern slopes is the village of Hering, which grew out of the lower ward or castellan's settlement. The history of castle and village is therefore closely interwoven.

The Marksburg is a castle above the town of Braubach in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is one of the principal sites of the Rhine Gorge UNESCO World Heritage Site. The fortress was used for protection rather than as a residence for royal families. It has a striking example of a bergfried designed as a butter-churn tower.

This is an HD remake of an old video of mine, which also contained a small error. The town of Seligenstadt has a long history and contains the bones of some minor saints.

Destination: Frankfurt am Main

Germany's fifth largest city and one of Europe's most important financial centres, Frankfurt is a modern city with ancient roots. From the timberframed houses on the Römerberg to the gleaming skyscrapers of the banking district, it bears the marks of the passing of the centuries.

Destination 2017: Ratzeburg

The town of Ratzeburg lies on an island in a lake in the far north of Germany. It has a stupidly complicated history, some tenuous connections with the British royal family and is a great venue for the bluffer's guide to architectural styles.
