Germany - Rhineland Palatinate
Burg Rheinfels
A Karen Brown Recommendation
Schlossberg |
The Rhine landscape is splendid when viewed from the river; but even finer views await you from the ramparts of the castle, *Burg Rheinfels, located high above Saint Goar. Below flows the mighty Rhine dotted with chugging barges, and on the opposite bank are the whimsically named Burg Mauz (Mouse Castle) and the adjacent larger Burg Katz (Cat Castle). Built in 1245, the Rheinfels castle was reduced to the crumbling ruin you see today by the French in 1797. With map and English explanation in hand, you tour the castle, climb the ramparts, and get a feeling for what the fortress must have been like in its heyday. A model in the museum shows just what a grand edifice this was. (9 am–5 pm, April to October.)
