Rock church
Description
As the town's famous landmark, the medieval rock church (built between 1482 and 1484) towers over Idar-Oberstein in a prominent position, visible from afar. Even the ascent is a worthwhile experience: the interior can be reached via a tunnel cut into the rock massif, which leads up 234 steps. A visit to the rock church is only possible as part of a guided tour, an individual visit is not possible.
