    Hiking

    🌊💙Here, the Rhine Valley shows itself at its best:
    The vantage point is located high above the Rhine🌊 and offers a fantastic panorama🎨🖌.


    🏰Rheineck Castle🏰
    On a hill near Bad Breisig🧭 rests a defiant 11th-century fortress. The Counts Palatine, who initially ruled from the 187-meter-high hill, had a perfect view of the Rhine and its banks🛡.
    The well-preserved Rheineck Castle is still inhabited today,
    but not open to the public⚔️.

    Beautiful way up to the castle Rheineck. Unfortunately, then the gate is closed and you can not visit the castle.

    Hiking

    Rheineck Castle is privately owned and cannot be visited. You can only catch a glimpse of the walls at the castle gate or enjoy the view from the neighboring hill, such as B. from Reutersley Lookout.
