    Hiking

    Sooneck Castle, also called Saneck or Sonneck or formerly Sonneck Castle, is a hilltop castle in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley in the Mainz-Bingen district (Rhineland-Palatinate).

    It stands on the north-eastern steep slope of the Bingen Forest not far from Niederheimbach between Bingen and Bacharach am Rhein. It can be visited as part of a guided tour.

    The most beautiful is on Sooneck at the time of the rose bloom, when several rose bushes transform the castle in Dornröschen's castle.
