View of Burg Stahleck

Highlight • Viewpoint

Stahleck Castle rises on the left bank of the Rhine high above the beautiful wine town of Bacharach. From the courtyard of the Staufenfeste there is a fascinating view of Bacharach with its defensive towers, the former city fortifications, and over the Rhine Valley. The Stahleck is now a youth hostel.

View of the Loreley Rock

Highlight • Viewpoint

Between the Mouse Tower in Bingen and the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz, 29 castles, palaces or castle ruins tell of the important history of the Middle Rhine Valley. Kings, princes, counts, bishops – they all built their castles on the Rhine. The 132 meter high Loreley rock is right in the middle. It is not for nothing that the Loreley Valley is now one of the most popular excursion destinations in Germany. Here you can find Rhine romanticism in its purest form.

July 14, 2024,3. Rhein-Tour: 🪮 Loreley-Runde 🎶 Lorch - St. Goar

Between the Mäuseturm in Bingen and the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz, 29 castles, palaces and castle ruins tell the story of the Middle Rhine Valley's important history. Kings, princes, counts and bishops - they all built their castles on the Rhine. The 132-meter-high Loreley rock lies in the middle of it all. It is not without reason that the Loreley …

After a long winter break, sitting in the saddle really hurt.
I have to get a different saddle, definitely be on the road more with my bike.
A little shady places would have been good, not just driving stubbornly like in the desert under the burning sun.
All in all a nice nice little tour.

The Middle Rhine Valley is really great. Unfortunately, the very well-developed bike path usually runs right next to the busy road. Sometimes only as a converted sidewalk. Super loud and annoying ... Not my thing! Nevertheless, the castles and cities are very worth seeing 👍🏻

Today we went partly across country in the direction of Loreley. Again on parts of the Rheinsteig, through dense deciduous forests, along vineyards, we then went back down the Rhine along the Loreley view. When we arrived, coffee and cake were already waiting for us. The adventurous descent onto a hiking trail was partly pushed. After a short stop because …
