Hiking

Rheinfels Castle is the largest surviving castle ruin on the Rhine. Although time has left its mark on the walls, you can still imagine what the magnificent fortress must have looked like.

Part of the castle is now a museum where you can learn about the interesting history of the place. You can find information about the opening times here: stadt-st-goar.de/urlaub-in-st-goar/#rheinfels.

Hiking

Unfortunately, the opening times are too short, i.e. a visit is hardly worthwhile after a hike.

Changed (even shorter!) opening times apply from October 31, 2022:
Open the castle and the museum
Friday to Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m
(last admission at 2:00 p.m.).
The castle remains closed on snow and ice.

To protect the bats, there is a protection period from 01.10. – 31.03.
An inspection of the weir and mine passages is not possible during this period!!!

Renovation work is planned for 2023, which will further limit the already reduced offer!
