View of Katz Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from below is worth seeing. However, it is not worth going up because the castle can only be viewed from the outside.

View of Katz Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle was originally called Burg Neukatzenelnbogen. This was shortened to Burg Katz by the locals. The castle was built between 1360 and 1371 by the Counts of Katzenelnbogen.

Rest Area With View of the Loreley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The beautiful mermaid of the Rhine, the dangerous Loreley, often appears to the boatmen, combs her long, flat hair with a golden comb and sings a sweet, beguiling song.

The ongoing conflict between the Electors of Trier and the Counts of Katzenelnbogen can be seen in the Bug “Katz”, which can only be viewed from the outside, as well as in its counterpart, the “Maus” Castle. The castle in St. Goarshausen, which was actually built in 1371 as Neu-Katzenelnbogen Castle, was given the popular name “Katz”. The Counts of Katzenelnbogen wanted to use it to protect their possessions on the Rhine and in particular the customs office in St. Goar opposite - as well as consciously setting a counterweight to the “Maus” castle in Electorate, which threatened their customs clearance.

May 18, 2024,Fahrradtour in St. Goar

We actually wanted to cycle from St. Goar to Rüdesheim today, but the second day was rainy.

We then hiked to the Loreley statue.

We looked for a few caches in between 😉
