👑 Rheingrafenstein Castle Ruins – The Rock Boss on the Cycle Path Tip: Stop here! The Rheingrafenstein ruins sit dramatically perched on a 136-meter-high porphyry cliff above the Nahe River – one of the most impressive sights of the entire tour. The castle was the ancestral seat of the famous Wildgraves and Rhinegraves (until it was blown up in 1689). The view from the cycle path is phenomenal! If you really want to go up (and have enough energy), you can take the small hand-pulled ferry across and take the steep hiking trail to the ruins. It's worth it for the view over the Nahe Valley, but honestly: My legs were already tired enough from cycling. The panoramic view from below is worth its weight in gold! A must-have for your photo collection!

Rheingrafenstein Castle sits enthroned on a steep porphyry cliff (245 meters high) directly above the Nahe River near Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg. Legend has it that the devil himself built the castle—a reference to its dramatic location and mystical aura. In fact, it likely dates back to the 11th century and was the ancestral seat of the Lords of Stein, later the Wildgraves and Rhinegraves. In 1689, it was blown up by French troops under Louis XIV, and since then it has been a ruin—but an extremely impressive one.

Beautiful rock with the Rheingrafenstein castle ruins. It is said that the devil is said to have built the castle. In any case, the castle was blown up by the French troops under Louis XIV.

You can take the ferry here, walk up to the ruins and enjoy the view. If you like, you can continue on the way to the spa gardens of Bad Kreuznach. It's worth it.

It's amazing how many graduation towers there are - the perfect place to take a deep breath. One should take the time for a long walk or a long break. A short detour to the old town of Bad Kreuznach should not be missed, including the bridge houses.
