Braubach Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

Braubach, in the middle of the romantic Rhine Valley, is a small town that invites you to visit. A town with a long history, medieval character and idyllic flair.

Numerous remains of the medieval town fortifications can still be found in Braubach.

In the old town lies the Philippsburg with its romantic inner courtyard and Renaissance garden.

Here the European Castle Institute houses one of the largest castle libraries in Europe.

The view of the Rhine Valley from this hilltop castle is wonderful. We can highly recommend a guided tour of the castle.

Marksburg

Highlight • Castle

The only never-destroyed hilltop castle on the Middle Rhine, dating from the twelfth century.

It is worth taking a guided tour. To our knowledge, also possible with a dog (at least it used to be, we had a German Shepherd with us back then).
We have been to the castle many times, it was always an experience.

View of the Marksburg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Shortly before Braubach it gets tight. On the left the Rhine, then the cycle path, on the right the road and then the railway. And the Marksburg towers above everything.

Philippsburg Castle was built between 1568 and 1571 by Landgrave Philipp II. Since 1999 it has been the seat of the European Castle Institute. Also worth mentioning is the wine cellar with a restaurant and the castle garden.
