felsenkirche印象

The church is situated halfway up a rocky wall, it has a famous organ and an altar tryptichon from the late middle ages of unknown origin. To get to it, many stairs have to be climbed, but it is worth it

We stopped in Idar-Oberstein on our last day in Germany on our way up to Frankfurt. The whole town is beautiful and worth a walk through. The walk up to the church may be hard for some people but it's certainly doable and there are benches along the way. It's cool to walk into the main entrance of the church through the tunnel built in the rock. The whole history of the church is fascinating and there are some amazing views of the top. If you are nearby, it's worth stopping by to check out!

In the heart of Oberstein is the Felsenkirche, a church sits half-way up the cliffs from the downtown area to Schloss Oberstein. This unique church sits high enough in the cliffs to offer a commanding view of Oberstein. A hearty amount of stair climbing is involved to get to the entrance tunnel of Felsenkirche; however, the coolness of the tunnel and church make the ascent very rewarding. A small entrance fee (2 Euros adults, 50 Euro cents children) helps maintain the church and the cliff side for future generations.If you are in Oberstein, take the 30 minutes to explore the Felsenkirche. Parking is available throughout Oberstein and the closest parking facility is at the Theater parking garage.

The site of the church built into the mountain is really awesome to see. We plugged the address from this site into our GPS, but it will lead you to private parking only. You must park near the pedestrian town center (we paid a few euro for 4 hours) and follow the signs through the town to Felsenkirche. It is probably about 100 steps to the top, but there are plenty of places to rest along the way if needed. Our 3 and 5 year old did not have a problem with the stairs and were very excited about the whole experience. The entrance price of 2euro for adults and free for our kiddos was very reasonable. We spent about 15 minutes exploring the church and enjoying the view from the balcony. If you're up to it I would recommend the extra .8km walk to the top of the mountain to visit the castle.

Once you arrive in the town square filled with shops and restaurants, its a moderate walk up some 100 steps to the church in the Mountain. Visit the church and then go have lunch.

The history of the place is amazing! Wonderful experience, beautiful surroundings and views! A MUST if you are in the area!

... and once you're in Idar-Oberstein, why not? It's not a long climb - to call it a "hike" is a joke - not a special chapel (in my opinion), they charge you admission although there is nothing to see... but then again, might as well do it and hopefully support a good cause.From the church balcony you can see the town and imagine what it looked like when the river run through it instead of the high street nowadays covering the water way. A big difference I imagine.

I lived across the street from the "Church on the Rock" and loved to walk up there on weekends or run to the top of the hill to Schloss Oberstien in the mornings. I would recommend the hike, followed by a spiessbraten in town. Idar-Oberstien is the only place to get proper spiessbraten.

We enjoyed the walk and visit of the Felsenkirche. It has a nice view. We continued our walk (10 minutes more) to the top and also visited Schloss Oberstein, you can have a drink (local Kirner beer) at the terrace or inside and follow the road down to the village again.

Just a small walk up the side of the 'hill' to the church. Interesting position above the city. Construction works going on so entrance through a tunnel. Small entrance fee. You can also see the clocktower from up close and there's a terrace for a panorama view of Idar-Oberstein.
