~ Montabaur, 26.03.2024 ~

Montabaur is a city in the Westerwald region. Its old town is perched high atop a steep hillside

A long street lined with old half-timbered homes leads towards the heart of the city.

I didn't explore the newer parts of the city.

The marketplace is dominated by a magnificent Gothic town hall.

The city is narrow. Parallel to the main street, there's one alley that runs along the edge of the cliff and offers a view of the suburban sprawl.

The church was closed, sadly.

As the sun was lowering below the roofline, I turned to leave

Montabaur is actually a regional center; it hosts lots of business and industry, but these are spread out on the plains below the old city.
