Hiking

There is a café in the castle, which is ideal for a break. On the castle terrace you have a beautiful view of the Rhine and from the castle room you have a wonderful view of Sterrenberg Castle. It's worth a visit!

Hiking

The castles of Liebenstein and Sterrenberg lie high above the medieval pilgrimage site of Kamp-Bornhofen, in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley. Together they are also known as the "enemy brothers". Numerous legends deal with the feuding descendants of a king, who built the two unique castles in the course of their inheritance dispute - closer than any other two castles on the Rhine have ever been built.
