View of the Loreley Rock

Highlight • Viewpoint

Between the Mouse Tower in Bingen and the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz, 29 castles, palaces or castle ruins tell of the important history of the Middle Rhine Valley. Kings, princes, counts, bishops – they all built their castles on the Rhine. The 132 meter high Loreley rock is right in the middle. It is not for nothing that the Loreley Valley is now one of the most popular excursion destinations in Germany. Here you can find Rhine romanticism in its purest form.

View of Burg Stahleck

Highlight • Viewpoint

Stahleck Castle rises on the left bank of the Rhine high above the beautiful wine town of Bacharach. From the courtyard of the Staufenfeste there is a fascinating view of Bacharach with its defensive towers, the former city fortifications, and over the Rhine Valley. The Stahleck is now a youth hostel.

January 3, 2023,Fahrrad Tour: Mainz - Koblenz

In order to put my good intentions into practice, I wanted to start the new 2023 with a longer bike tour. It started directly at the Rheinhessen Dom in Mainz-Gonsenheim with the aim of reaching Koblenz, about 100km away.

The sun had a hard time penetrating the dense fog in the Rheinauen between Budenheim and Bingen on this Tuesday morning …

September 17, 2022,Von Koblenz nach Mainz

Very varied day today.
Today's route along the Rhine was characterized by constantly changing landscapes.
That's how it started from Deutsches Eck. Sometimes it was the slopes with the wine in wide open valleys.
Sometimes it was almost like a gorge at the Loreley.
Then came the first tourist towns with a wine background.
It may be known, for example …

June 11, 2023,Töchtertour - Tag 6 - Von Andernach nach Ingelheim

That has never happened to me either. My phone closed all apps due to overheating. That's why today's tour is missing 4 km.
There was a gusty headwind on the Rhine to the south today, so that I sometimes have the feeling of driving against a foehn. In addition, there was hardly any shade on the section today. I was …

Say: The Loreley and the Devil

The beautiful mermaid of the Rhine, the dangerous Loreley, often appears to the boatmen, combs her long, flat hair with a golden comb and sings a sweet, beguiling song. Many who were lured by it and wanted to scale the rock found their death in the waves.
