The view of the Marksburg from the opposite bank of the Rhine is always breathtaking. The castle is visible from afar, if you are on the left bank bike path. It is the only undisturbed medieval hill fort on the Middle Rhine. More information about the story: marksburg.de/geschichte-der-marksburg.html
