Transport
editThe nearest train stop is Kloster Marienthal at the Engers-Au railway, served by line RB90 (Limburg - Westerburg - Au (Sieg) - Siegen).
The Kloster Marienthal stop, which is located in Hilgenroth, but named and primarily used of visitors and residents of the district Marienthal (a pilgrimage site and that also hosts the former Franciscan monastery) of the village Seelbach (near Hamm (Sieg)), was several times in danger of being closed, because challenges to beet the trains in direction of Cologne at Au (Siege) station, but still wait for the trains coming from Frankfurt (Main) in Limburg (Lahn) station. Many trains stations along the line RB90 like Hattert, Unnau-Korb and Frickhofen, have been changed to stops without crossing possibility. Also in 2017 many people became active against the closure of the closure of the Kloster Marienthal stop.
