The Wildenburg and surroundings nature reserve in the Idarwald, part of the Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park, protects a prominent, wall-like mountain ridge.

The remains of the Wildenburg castle and an observation tower further offer expansive views over the surrounding landscape, adding cultural significance to this natural heritage.
