    Tips

    November 11, 2022

    Currently (11/22) the overview board at the "Fünfburgenblick" is still missing.
    This should locate the five castles (from right to left: Katz Castle, Reichenberg Castle ruins, Maus Castle, and the "Feinliche Brüder" with the castles of Liebenstein and Sterrenberg) in a panorama.
    I once attached an unofficial version ;o)

    The castle ruins of Reichenberg are located in the hinterland near Sankt Goarshausen, the others are all directly on the Rhine.

    In any case, you have a wide view of the slopes of the Taunus on the Middle Rhine.

      Anyone understand komoot?
      I created the highlight in October and then somehow disappeared, along with my comment.

        On this tour, several of my created highlights have also disappeared and are now displayed as new highlights, really very strange.

          One of the most notable views on this tour - and there are many. If you don't have eagle eyes, we recommend using binoculars to actually see the castles on the Rhine.

            A wonderful viewpoint overlooking the Rhine Valley and the villages and castles beyond. Approximately 100 meters before the rest area, there is a large information panel explaining the view.
