Berwartstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

Very beautiful and well-preserved robber baron's castle. Was extensively renovated by private owners. Be sure to take a guided tour! On the one hand, because it is worth seeing, on the other hand, to support the owners and thus to be able to continue to preserve the castle. Enjoy the nature!

Drachenfelshütte (PWV Busenberg)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Palatinate hut romance is lived here, everything to eat and drink, what the Palatine heart desires. The hut, also called Drachenfelshütte, is directly accessible by bike, Harley and car and is not far from the very interesting rock castle Drachenfels.

Drachenfels Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Drachenfels Castle is definitely worth a climb. A great experience, and not just because of the beautiful view. Exploring the structure of this castle is a real adventure, as it differs significantly from the usual castles.
