​👑 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.

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.

Anyone who goes to Rotenfels also goes to the Bastei. The fortified lookout point was created in the 19th century. A rocky path with a beautiful view of the Parnoaram leads there. From this vantage point, you can look up over the Nahe Valley and across Ebernburg into the North Palatinate mountains. When the weather is nice, you can see the Donnersberg in the Palatinate with the naked eye. (https://www.bad-kreuznach-tourist.de/gehenswuerdigkeiten/virtuelle-stadtfuehrungen/rotenfels/)

We walked to the bastion via the vitality tour or the panorama path. I can highly recommend. The entire Panoramaweg offers great views and at the bastion you have a good view of the valley and the Nahe. Very impressive!

Walled vantage point with a wooden summit cross, right on the edge of the rock! Fantastic panoramic view over the Nahe Valley and beyond. 👍

You can take the ferry here, walk up to the ruins and enjoy the view. If you like, you can continue on the way to the spa gardens of Bad Kreuznach. It's worth it.
