Rotenfels: Alpine feeling on the bike path! ​Watch out, a giant is in sight! Shortly after Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg, you pass the Rotenfels massif, the highest cliff face in Germany north of the Alps. We're talking about over 200 meters of pure rock, rising vertically above the Nahe River. ​This isn't a hill anymore; it's a geological shocker! The entire mass consists of reddish porphyry rock, which glows fiery red, especially in the evening (or in good light). Truly spectacular. ​From the bike path, you can see the full force of it. You suddenly feel very small, which can be quite relaxing after 50 kilometers in the saddle. ​Fun fact: Up on the Rotenfels is a climbing area – only for pros! I prefer to stay on my 25mm tire asphalt and enjoy the view from below. No need to climb too high; the panorama from here is already unbeatable! ​My tip: Stop and enjoy the moment. Take a photo with this rock colossus as proof.

​👑 Rheingrafenstein Castle Ruins – The Rock Boss on the Cycle Path ​Tip: Stop here! The Rheingrafenstein ruins sit dramatically perched on a 136-meter-high porphyry cliff above the Nahe River – one of the most impressive sights of the entire tour. The castle was the ancestral seat of the famous Wildgraves and Rhinegraves (until it was blown up in 1689). ​The view from the cycle path is phenomenal! If you really want to go up (and have enough energy), you can take the small hand-pulled ferry across and take the steep hiking trail to the ruins. It's worth it for the view over the Nahe Valley, but honestly: My legs were already tired enough from cycling. The panoramic view from below is worth its weight in gold! A must-have for your photo collection!

Rheingrafenstein Castle sits enthroned on a steep porphyry cliff (245 meters high) directly above the Nahe River near Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg. Legend has it that the devil himself built the castle—a reference to its dramatic location and mystical aura. In fact, it likely dates back to the 11th century and was the ancestral seat of the Lords of Stein, later the Wildgraves and Rhinegraves. In 1689, it was blown up by French troops under Louis XIV, and since then it has been a ruin—but an extremely impressive one.

エリザベテンヴェーアは2009年まで水生生物が通過できない状態でしたが、いくつかの建設工事を経て「粗い底面の滑り台」に再設計されました。例えば、大きなブロック石を使って小さな階段を作り、その上に岩石や小石を敷き詰めました。回遊魚（🐟！）のために、「粗い水路」が作られました。これは、魚が堰を通過できる堰を越える水路のことです。それ以来、忍耐強く観察すれば、そこに生息するヨウスコウヤマカガシが狩りをしている様子も見ることができます。 これら全体は、EU水枠組み指令を実施するための多くの措置の1つであり、EUからも多額の資金援助を受けていました。 出典：「ラインラント＝プファルツ州の生きている水域 - 水枠組み指令の実施に関する中間報告」

The weir, the nearby river and the view of the surrounding hills offer a wonderful view, especially when the sun is setting.

Beautiful rock with the Rheingrafenstein castle ruins. It is said that the devil is said to have built the castle. In any case, the castle was blown up by the French troops under Louis XIV.
