View of Pfalzgrafenstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

The best way to see it is by ferry.
It stops there on every crossing. You can leave the ferry, look around and get on again on the next crossing.

The Zollburg Pfalzgrafenstein stands on a Rhine island in the amount of the wine village Kaub. From Kaub can be translated with a passenger ferry to the island. A visit is highly recommended and becomes a lasting memory.

August 20, 2024,Blücher Denkmal in Kaub – Loreleyblick Runde ab Bogel

Strenuous (biobike) but fantastic and worthwhile bike tour from Bogel via Weisel down to Sauerthal and Lorch. Then along the Rhine in wonderful weather via Kaub to St. Goarshausen. Of course past the Loreley rock. The 9 km uphill back to Bogel were tough. But great.
