    Tips

    Erected in 1327 by Ludwig the Bavarian, the Pfalzgrafenstein near Kaub served as a customs post until 1866. In the winter of 1813/14, the castle moved into the focus of European history. Here the Prussian General Field Marshal Blücher and his army managed to cross the Rhine, which initiated the overthrow of Napoleon. The Blüchermuseum in Kaub, which you should definitely visit, announces this deed.
    The ferry trip to the castle on the Rhine island, which has never been destroyed, is also an experience. Once there, you can take a guided tour to immerse yourself in the world of customs officers and merchants of past centuries.
