Nassau, Medieval town in Bad Ems-Nassau, Germany.
Nassau stands at the intersection of the Middle Rhine and Lahn Valley, surrounded by forests and traversed by the winding Lahn River at 100 meters elevation.
The region gained prominence through the Nassau noble family, which established their ancestral seat here and later provided monarchs to Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
The town forms part of the European Route of Historic Thermal Towns, maintaining thermal springs and traditional wellness practices that span multiple centuries.
Nassau connects to major hiking routes including the Lahnwanderweg and cycling paths, with direct train access from Frankfurt and regional transportation hubs.
The medieval castle ruins above Nassau provide a geological observatory point where visitors can study rock formations from the Devonian period.
