So much of the history has been preserved while adding hotels. Thoughtful indeed.
Extensive ruins. Nice little museum. Pricing very reasonable. We stayed at the hotel across the street which makes it very convenient. They are doing a lot of restoration at the castle so some areas are off limits. Views of Rhine from many points surround the rings.
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.
One of the largest castles on this stretch of the Rhine, these ruins are part of a deceptively large military complex. The main part of the castle including a small museum can be freely walked for a small fee. The larger complex however is only accessible through guided tours.
Awesome castle ruins with views of the Rhine and vineyards. Parking isn't free and there isn't a lot so go during the week if possible. There is a ferry across the river and there is a shuttle bus as well.
This is an awesome castle that you only get to see part of.. It is the largest fortress on the Rhine. We didn't get to see many areas since there were no tour guides available however there was plenty to see. A visit to the museum on-site is a must for the history of the castle
We stop by while in Germany and Visiting this castle was epic. Just amazing to see something from that Era is still standing truly a memorable site. Everything in the area is just beautiful epic views from the top of the castle.
