These include the magnificent Schmidtburg as the seat of the Emichons and later Wildgrafen, the picturesque ensemble of the Old Castle and the New Castle above Idar-Oberstein, Sponheim as the ancestral castle of the count dynasty of the same name, the charming moated castle of Baldenau, the Steinkallenfels perched on dizzying cliffs and the Koppenstein, which is fascinating not only because of its exposed position
