The castle was first mentioned in 1213 as "castro Weitersheim". In 1334 the Counts of Sponheim (Vordere Grafschaft) bought the castle, which has meanwhile been renamed Gutenburg. After this purchase, a fundamental conversion took place.

... and behind the campsite then feel all altitude in one fell swoop, if you pass here on the small train round. The consolation: behind Allenfeld with 60 km / h down the highway.

March 23, 2022,Kleinbahn Radweg - Start Rüdesheim/Nahe

A really great tour. Beautiful landscape - idyllic rest areas - mostly separate cycle path - paved - incline from Bockenau to Allenfeld - also passable with a bicycle trailer. Recommendation from Rüdesheim in the direction of Bockenau and further..... Anyone who drives the other way around has a steeper climb on a country road.

The Kleinbahn cycle path leads through beautiful stream valleys, sun-drenched vineyards, along remote castle ruins and through the idyllic Bockenau Switzerland.
You can cycle relaxed on two disused narrow-gauge railways.

Today we did another very relaxed tour on a fully signposted cycle path. The motto was: forest, vineyards, horizons. Very beautiful route, a little too little shade towards the end for today.
