Super panoramic view of the castles Liebenstein and Sterrenberg (enemy brothers) as well as over and into the Rhine Valley.

The short detour from the main path over the fence is worthwhile. The view is fantastic. On the rocks is also a bit of a head for heights.

The castles of Liebenstein and Sterrenberg lie high above the medieval pilgrimage site of Kamp-Bornhofen, in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley. Together they are also known as the "enemy brothers". Numerous legends deal with the feuding descendants of a king, who built the two unique castles in the course of their inheritance dispute - closer than any other two castles on the Rhine have ever been built.
