Rheinstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

The picturesque location of the castle Rheinstein enchanted in 1823 the Prince Frederick of Prussia, who also bought the castle promptly. At that time, the castle was little more than a dilapidated ruin, but after several years of reconstruction, the Prince could move into his domicile. The castle was then built with careful preservation of the medieval fabric to a romanticized residential castle.

This form is preserved to this day and can be visited. The castle now houses a museum and an adjoining restaurant. In addition, the view from the wall and from the towers down to the Rhine Valley is simply picturesque. If you can not get enough of the castle, then you should also look at the accommodation offers.

You can find all information about opening times and entrance fees at burg-rheinstein.de.

Morgenbachtal Gorge and Waterfalls

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The Morgenbachtal is closed since 2016 (!) Because of the breaking off path. However, it is quite manageable ..... 😉

Eselspfad ascent in the Morgenbach Valley

Highlight • Trail

The Morgenbachtal was repaired together with the Kreuzbachklamm for 180,000 euros. Unfortunately, not all signs were removed, so that you will find this currently (8/2019) in many places. The valley is in excellent condition with wide paths and a lot of public traffic!
