The history of the community of Welschenbach and its around 50 residents is shaped by its proximity to Virneburg Castle. The idyllic place surrounded by meadows and forests is divided into the districts of Oberwelschenbach and Niederwelschenbach. The two baroque chapels are worth seeing, one each in Oberwelschenbach and one in Niederwelschenbach.
Special attractions of the municipality of Langenfeld with about 670 inhabitants are the late Gothic pilgrimage chapel St. Jost, which was built around 1400, as well as the 3-tunnel visitor mine "Grube Bendisberg", which offers fantastic insights deep into the interior of the earth and brings old mining traditions to life.
