​👑 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.

The cycle path from Bad Kreuznach to Bad Münster is the most beautiful section of the Nahe cycle path.

good relaxation at the salt mines, you should take a break here

The rocks on which the Rheingrafenstein castle ruins are located stand out strikingly. You can get to the opposite bank by hand-pulled ferry. From there you can reach the ruins on foot, steeply uphill.

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.

Impressive complex, embedded in a beautiful landscape. Good hiking opportunities.

The Rheingrafenstein is a 136 m high porphyry rock formation on the Nahe opposite Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg. It belongs geologically to the Kreuznach massif. At its peak are the ruins of Rheingrafenstein Castle, which was built in the 11th century and destroyed in 1688 during the Palatinate War of Succession. The Rheingrafenstein is the landmark of the Bad Kreuznach district of Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg. A little below are the ruins of the Affenstein castle. A 200 hectare area around the rock formation was declared a nature reserve in 1985. Coming from Bad Münster am Stein, you can reach the Rheingrafenstein via a footpath after crossing the Nahe with a hand-pulled passenger ferry. Alternatively, there is the possibility of following the Rheingrafenstraße via Bad Kreuznach, driving to a nearby car park and hiking to the castle and viewing platform. Source: Wikipedia
