Unfortunately closed.

The path to Laurenburg Castle from Laurenburg goes through the forest and is wildly romantic. Unfortunately, it was raining and there was a risk of slipping because the high grass was very wet. Still very nice and relaxing. It's worth a visit. Laurenburg Castle itself cannot be visited at the moment.

This castle is just a tower, which is also closed. There are actually no parking spaces available, although parking one or two cars in front of the "castle" is possible. Overall, a targeted journey here is not worthwhile.

Nicely restored castle with a great view over the Lahn. No activities at the moment due to Corona.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
