Loreley Boat Tour


When the Rhine winds its way around the bend near Bingen, it marks the beginning of one of the most exciting stretches of this unique river landscape.

Romantic ruined castles such as Stahleck Castle near Bacharach, Pfalz Castle near Kaub and the fortress Schönburg near Oberwesel proudly watch over the Loreley Valley and can tell tales of a turbulent history.



The river banks are lined with magical little places such as the picturesque village of Lorch or the idyllic medieval town of Bacharach. Finally, in St. Goarshausen, you reach the legendary Loreley Rock, which attracts thousands of tourists every year. A few miles further downstream, near Kamp-Bornhofen, you meet the so-called "Hostile Brothers" and in Braubach Marksburg Castle awaits you.
