View of Katz Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

View of the Loreley and the Upper Middle Rhine Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from the Loreley beer garden was worth the climb.
You can see the course of the Rhine and the remains of the towpaths along which boats used to be pulled up the Rhine by horses...
There is also well-chilled draft beer and tasty snacks to satisfy your hunger.

View of Burg Maus

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is actually Thurnberg Castle. It is located on the right bank of the Rhine. The "Burg Katz" by the Count of Katzenelnbogen is located above the river. He mockingly called her the "mouse".
During the season, dates for castle tours are offered by Loreley Touristik. The Rheinsteig also leads past it.
