Orchard meadows in the Urdenbacher Kämpe

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

The Rhine is particularly undisturbed along the Urdenbacher Rheinauen: no town, factory or road nearby. It's rare to experience electricity so close to nature in the Rhineland.

Graceful castle with its wings in a beautifully landscaped park with a French garden, English garden, kitchen garden and parterre garden. The castle park is very nice to hike through with surprising views of the castle again and again.
