    Zeltingen Castle, also known as Kunibertsburg or Rosenburg, is a medieval hilltop castle dating from the 12th to 13th centuries and is located southeast of the town limits of Zeltingen amidst the steep Moselle vineyards. Originally serving as a fortified customs post to control shipping, it is considered the birthplace of St. Cunibert, Archbishop of Zeltingen. Today, the ruins are freely accessible and offer impressive views of the Moselle River and the surrounding vineyards. It is a popular stop for hikers and cyclists on the Maare-Mosel Cycle Path.

    🏰 Kunibertsburg Castle (often also called Rosenburg) is a picturesque castle ruin perched in the vineyards above Zeltingen-Rachtig. It is closely linked to the history of the town as an enclave of the Electorate of Cologne.

    The castle is considered the only hillside castle on the Moselle River, as it was built on a steep slope rather than on a hilltop, unlike most other castles in the region.
