Great view of the Rhine and the castle. I walked the Gutenfelssteig trail from Kaub train station to this spot; it's a short but steep climb. The Rheinsteig trail joins it nearby.

Near the visitor center at the Loreley Rock, there is a 3D model of the plateau. This provides a good overview, and visually impaired people can explore the surroundings by touch.
