Directly on the banks of the Rhine rise the picturesque ruins of the Imperial Palace of the legendary Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. The palace, originally dating back to the 10th century, was expanded under Emperor Henry III and later by Emperor Barbarossa after he relocated the Rhine toll from the Netherlands to Kaiserswerth, as he needed a fortress dominating the Rhine. The location for the palace was well chosen. Because the Rhine forms a gentle curve here, it can be clearly seen over a long stretch. Even today, the castle complex consists of imposing walls up to four and a half meters thick. The idyllic castle path offers a magnificent view of the palace.

The beginnings of the imperial palace go back to the year 700.

A little below the Plateau you will pass this vantage point of Drachenburg Castle on the way. The view of the (almost kitschy) castle with the Rhine and the Bonn skyline in the background is great. Photos from the small platform almost automatically have postcard quality.

Nice shady bike path with water on both sides.

Founded around 1000 years ago, the Speyer Cathedral is today the largest Romanesque church in the world and has a correspondingly large cathedral square. In the middle of the cathedral square, in front of the west portal of the cathedral, there is a huge bowl, the so-called cathedral bowl, which marked the borderline between the medieval city and the cathedral immunity. From the end of the 15th century it was customary for the new bishop to make a debut and have the Domnapt filled with wine so that the people of Speyer could drink to his health.

From Domplatz you can see the west facade of the cathedral and Maximilianstraße. Very nice!

The best way to get to the cathedral city stress-free

Drachenburg Castle is a castle on the Drachenfels in Koenigswinter. It was built in record time from 1882 to 1884 in the style of historicism (especially neo-early gothic on the exterior and neo-renaissance in the interior) as a representative residence for Stephan von Sarter, who, however, never lived in the castle. After his death, the castle was subjected to several changes in use.
