View of the Loreley Rock

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

View of Rheinstein Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The castle is a prime example of Rhine Romanticism – that era when poets, painters, and nobles discovered the Rhine as a place of longing.
The view encompasses not only the castle itself, but also the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley, with its steep vineyards and historic villages.

View of Burg Rheinstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a magnificent view of the fairytale Rheinstein Castle. It was the first castle to be rebuilt by Prince Friedrich in the Romantic period to revive the medieval flair and it is the only castle on the Middle Rhine that is still family-owned.

September 12, 2025,Mit dem Rad und wandern bis Lorch

Today we cycled to Lorch. Then we parked our bikes and walked the Vino Veritas hiking trail. At first, the route was beautiful, passing through vineyards, then through secluded forests on lovely trails with fantastic views. The return trip was a bit tough on forest paths. From the vineyards, there were more beautiful views and trails. As a reward, we …
