September 8, 2024,Schloß Stolzenfels - von Königsbach ⭐️🏰

A fantastic tour! I can only recommend this tour. The castle has a majestic presence, is bright and is well maintained. It is definitely worth visiting - and not just from the outside!

July 1, 2023,RheinBurgenWeg 7.1 Koblenz - Stolzenfels

Almost 4 km access from Koblenz Hbf, first quite nicely on the banks of the Rhine (incl. detour due to construction work), then quite scary under the B9, then unspectacular steep forest path crossed by MTB trails up to the knight's fall (monument area unfortunately due to construction work). About the Dommelberg, first path then (almost deserted) forest highway. Most …

A nice shady tour with great views of the Rhine Valley. Stolzenfels Castle is a highlight and there is a lot to see for €5. The last kilometer is unfortunately very asphalt heavy.

March 6, 2024,Auf dem Weg #07 | Über den Rhein von Lahnstein nach Stolzenfels

After the Lahn Camino left Lahnstein, I looked for a reasonable connection to the Moselle Camino, which begins in Stolzenfels. I had originally considered a hike over the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz, but the hustle and bustle of the city isn't really my thing.
So I took the first opportunity to change the side of the Rhine. The railway bridge …

August 29, 2024,Blick auf Schloß Stolzenfels – Schloss Stolzenfels Runde von Lahnstein

It was a great tour. We idiots set off in 35 degree heat, but we managed it.
We were rewarded by arriving at Stolzenfels Castle at the last second and being allowed in.
So remember, last entry is at 4 p.m.
The pictures speak for themselves.
It was a great day, exhausting, but really nice.
