    "Trechtingshausen has two important Rhine castles in close proximity, evoking truly romantic feelings on the Rhine. Rheinstein Castle sits perched like a falcon's nest on steep cliffs and boasts a beautiful castle garden with a centuries-old vine that majestically spans the garden in summer. Here, as at the neighboring Reichenstein Castle, journeys through space and time can be experienced. Knights or big-game hunters, castle governors or castle ghosts can be effortlessly imagined among the countless exhibits and interior styles.

    The two castles, like the Clemens Chapel, prominently located on the Rhine, are Trechtingshausen's treasure in their Romanesque simplicity. Today, both the castles and the chapel are located on a beautiful circular hiking trail, which visitors can take from the village through the wildly romantic Morgenbach Valley, through secluded valleys, and over the Schweizerhaus with its fantastic views."
