Beautiful town less than 50 mins from Ktown. Features a gorgeous Rhein River waterfront with a string of 20 plus castles along the way. Rheifels is a burgruine (ruin) that was built in 1245 and went under siege for 2 years straight when Count Dieter raised the toll to cross the river. The castle used to be massive which is why you find lots of ruin favorites such as gravestones, a large cellar, the washroom, etc. There is a recreated apothecary, and the castle itself offers the best view of the city of St. Goar, where it is located. You can spend a day or a weekend there at the Castle hotel, or at many of the Inns down on the main drag where you can do wine tastings and shop. Its a win win situation.

For a highway stop restaurant it is a great option even though on the pricey side. But there's a McDonals across the street too. I loved the Kartoffel soup with crunchy beads. They have a booze and candy shop on back. Bathrooms are .50eu. I was surprised that some reviews said that the restrooms were dirty. We went around 6 pm and they were very clean. Kudos!

Cash only but ATM is right across. The food is crazy good. I CONSIDER myself to be Won Ton Soup expert and this place easily battles for the no.1 place, so watch out Krischblütte you got a tough rival here.

Excellent service. Cash only but they got an ATM right in front of the store like 4 feet away from the entrance Closest thing to American smoked chicken, southern chicken and waffles, and the waffle burger. They make their own strawberry syrup and I think the butter too. The owner is local, speaks English, and runs a very clean, creative, and efficient business. Clearly a labor of love. Will come back many times. Prices are super reasonable.

My favorite store is the Italian place and the restaurant with the fountain inside. Love the place and the car rental inside. I imagine whoever stays at that hotel has it made!
