Lahneck Castle

Highlight • Castle

Lahneck Castle rises on the right bank of the Rhine above Lahnstein. The river Lahn also flows past on its flank. For me, the castle Lahneck places a high value on its sights. It is a very compact and rustic castle that radiates a lot of power. The premises, kitchen, rooms etc. are authentically furnished. The floor in the Knights' Hall is made of marble in which fossils are visible. The keep has a fantastic view. For castles fans an absolute must.

Rupperts Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The path leads at the most beautiful point through the stream bed, sometimes with wire ropes to hold on to. A bit challenging, but really worth it! Can also be done with dogs.

October 29, 2024,Ruppertsklamm (!) - Burg Lahneck - Runde von Oberlahnstein⭐️⭐️

Perfect weather, fantastic hiking trails, and a breathtaking via ferrata! The air is filled with a mystical atmosphere and awe-inspiring silence – simply magical!

A little less water in the gorge would have made things a little easier, though...

July 17, 2024,🏞️ Von Oberlahnstein/Rhein zur Burg Lahneck 🏰 und Ruppertsklamm 🤩 - Tag 4

After the tour in the Ahr Valley, I took it a little easier this time and started the day by train 🚂 at midday. Since this tour was comparatively short, I didn't let the 30-minute delay 🙃 at Bonn Central Station upset me. I went via Koblenz to my starting point in Oberlahnstein on the beautiful Rhine 🏞️ with the …

October 2, 2025,🇩🇪 – durch die Ruppertsklamm zur Burg Lahneck

After a while, the morning sun finally broke through, and we set off into the beautiful Ruppertsklamm Gorge. The stream had relatively little water, so the climb was fairly dry and problem-free. We continued along forest paths with beautiful viewpoints to Lahnstein. Thanks to the tough climb, we quickly left the town behind us. Once at the castle, we enjoyed …

A really beautiful tour 😃 You can park right on the Rhine promenade, where a day ticket costs €2 👍🏼 Through the town center, you go up the stairs to Lahneck Castle, where a guided tour costs €12 and takes about 40 minutes. It's written at the gate ❗ where tickets were sold 🤷🏼 Further up to the fields where …

October 18, 2025,Von Lahnstein durch die Burg und die Ruppertsklamm

We hiked the loop starting in Lahnstein, with Lahneck Castle and the Ruppertsklamm gorge as the main highlights, as an autumn club hike, including a visit to the castle. A beautiful tour, except for the rather long stretch along the roads through Lahnstein at the end.
