Between the Mouse Tower in Bingen and the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz, 29 castles, palaces or castle ruins tell of the important history of the Middle Rhine Valley. Kings, princes, counts, bishops – they all built their castles on the Rhine. The 132 meter high Loreley rock is right in the middle. It is not for nothing that the Loreley Valley is now one of the most popular excursion destinations in Germany. Here you can find Rhine romanticism in its purest form.
