Unfortunately a visit to the Felsenkirche will be very difficult under these circumstances. Due to the unique geographical location of the church built into a natural niche in the rocks close to the rock wall there is no direct access for vehicles. It can only be reached via a footpath with more than 200 steps starting at the market square.
The most comfortable, predominantly flat footpath starts at the end of Genossenschaftsstrasse. However, there are no parking spaces at the end of the street. Please keep in mind that you will still have to climb 40 stairs through the tunnel that leads into the church.
Tourist groups can visit the church without prior reservation.
The Protestant Trinity Parish of Nahe Oberstein does not offer guided tours. Please contact the Tourist information of Idar-Oberstein (Tel: + 49 6781 64871). Of course our service personnel at the church will be happy to answer your questions.
The church is usually closed during this period. Exceptions can be made and we try to accommodate visits. We rely on the voluntary readiness of our personell. Please contact us early.
Unfortunately not. There are no sanitary facilities at the Felsenkirche.
In urgent cases please use the public restrooms next to the Deutsches Mineralienmuseum or at the castle.
