This museum is really well done! The exhibits are both beautiful and interesting with gemstones and minerals from around the world by famous artists in this genre. We easily spent 2 hours here for a place that is not all that large. Loved it!

This complex has a mine museum with tours a man-made lake, a playground, and a restaurant. We ate at the brewery. The food was excellent, service was good. One staff member spoke English well and helped us. You can walk around the grounds which include a small man-made lake and a playground. It seems to also be used as a private event venue. There’s plenty of parking. You can see the complex from the road above, the parking lot is just below the road.

We found great vegan food in this cozy place. Unfortunately not enough vegan options but we had a good lunch. Unfortunately tap water is limited to 1 glass per person.

I really enjoyed touring this cave! It was a nice treat and the workers were super nice! It was so cool seeing the crystals and cool rock formations inside the cave and the cool lights that reflected on the water and walls. You can’t beat a cave tour for $8 and the hike down to the cave was nice and relaxing. Definitely purchase tickets in advance!

The food was awesome! Recommend the pretzels pizza and the beer and beef goulash. The service was awesome and the atmosphere was on point.

First time eating at this Restaurant. I can only say good things about this Place and the Staff. The place is cosey, the food is fresh and very tasty. The Staff and Owner make sure you are feeling welcome there and satisfied with everything. Good vibe throughout the entire evening. Keep up the good work!

Loved the food and service here. It was a great place to try some German food and beer. The staff were also very helpful in ordering a taxi for us.

(Translated by Google) I’m not actually a ring bearer – at least not yet. Now I can't imagine it any other way. I love wearing color-coordinated accessories with my outfits. And the wrapping ring with its colorful ribbons really fits perfectly. It is THE accessory! Stefanie's wrap ring is really special. Thanks to the many colorful ribbons, you can combine it really beautifully with any outfit. Above all, it's something different that I haven't seen before. I love this ring and its variety of possibilities. 💜 I can only recommend the wrap ring from Stefanie Dingel. Your jewelry is special and super sophisticated! (Original) Ich bin eigentlich keine Ringträgerin – zumindest bisher. Jetzt kann ich es mir gar nicht mehr anders vorstellen. Ich liebe es, farblich abgestimmte Accessoires zu meinen Outfits zu tragen. Und da passt der Wickelring mit seinen bunten Bändern wirklich perfekt. Es ist DAS Accessoire! Der Wickelring von Stefanie ist wirklich besonders. Durch die vielen bunten Bänder kann man ihn wirklich mega schön zu jedem Outfit kombinieren. Es ist vor allem auch mal was anderes, das ich so noch nicht gesehen habe. Ich liebe diesen Ring und seine Vielfalt an Möglichkeiten. 💜 Ich kann den Wickelring von Stefanie Dingel nur empfehlen. Ihr Schmuck ist besonders und mega raffiniert!

The museum is rather large and definitely worth a visit. There are thousands of geodes and great pieces of geology to study. There are also crowns, jewels, and artifacts to look at as well. Overall a must do for Idar-Oberstein!

If you like history and ancient buildings this is a great place to go, a church that at the very beginning of the construction it was a castle. When you are inside you are able to see how some of the walls are just rock of the mountain. Very interesting place with an amazing story. We had an excellent guide that explained every single corner of the place. The tour was made in German and one of our friends translated in to English. I didn’t ask if they offer a tour in English but I think it should be possible. The best way to go inside is to order a tour, is nothing expensive but you need to consider that is at least for 8 people.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately it's just a ruin, but thanks to some information boards you can get a good overview of exactly where things once were. The special thing about this castle is that it even had two outer baileys. The western and eastern baileys. There is now a war memorial in the area of ​​the former western outer bailey. In the area of ​​the former eastern outer bailey, a free area with some benches. The path to the castle itself is very exciting, narrow paths lead you slowly but surely through a forest to the castle. Shortly before we cross a narrow bridge, we can see some remains of walls on the side of the path, which were part of the gate system at that time. After the bridge we come to the area of ​​the main castle. There are remains of walls and a castle tower to be seen here. In addition to the information boards just mentioned, there are also wonderful views to enjoy here. (Original) Leider nur noch eine Ruine, aber dank einigen Hinweistafeln kann man sich einen guten Überblick verschaffen, wo einmal was genau war. Das besondere an dieser Burg ist, dass sie sogar gleich über zwei Vorburgen verfügte. Die westliche und die östliche Vorburg. Im Bereich der ehemaligen westlichen Vorburg, befindet sich heute ein Kriegerdenkmal. Im Bereich der ehemaligen östlichen Vorburg, ein freies Areal mit einigen Sitzbänken. Der Weg zur Burg ansich ist schon sehr spannend, schmale Pfade führen einen durch ein Waldstück langsam aber sicher zur Burg. Kurz bevor wir eine schmale Brücke überqueren, können wir seitlich des Pfades noch einige Mauerreste erkennen, diese zur damaligen Toranlage gehört haben. Nach der Brücke kommen wir in den Bereich der Hauptburg. Hier gibt es Mauerreste und noch einen Burgturm zu erkennen. Neben den eben erwähnten Hinweistafeln gibt es hier auch wunderbare Aussichten zu genießen.

THE best Italian restaurant in Germany!! A hidden treasure with amazing food and friendly staff! You always feel at home eating here. Beautiful views of the town square. Cozy vibes in the winter and relaxing vibes during the spring and summer. I crave their pasta at least once a month! If you are in the area you HAVE to go.

The best dinner out I’ve had in years!! The food was freshly prepared and delicious. Highly recommended!
