The imposing silhouette, crowning the mountain ridge in a highly exposed location and virtually towering over the Rur valley, is unmistakable. Built from the local red sandstone, Nideggen Castle appears to have merged with the mountain range, or rather, to have been carved out of it.

Very nice view from the Danzley car park into the Rur valley and Nideggen Castle.
