There is an unparalleled number of castles on this stretch of the Rhine, for instance Ehrenbreitstein Fortress in Koblenz, Stolzenfels Castle and the remarkable well-preserved Marksburg Castle in Braubach. Take a look at Cat and Mouse Castles before you reach the undisputed highlight of any tour on the Middle Rhine - the Loreley Rock! The legend lives on, high up above the Rhine on a mighty cliff-top.

 

But there are still more sights to be seen: Schönburg Castle near Oberwesel, Pfalz Castle at Kaub and the romantic wine village of Bacharach with Stahleck Castle, before you can head to the famous Drosselgasse in Rüdesheim for a tasty glass of wine.
