Join me on a Rhine River cruise from Rüdesheim to Koblenz, exploring a series of stunning medieval castles and legendary sites. Our journey begins with the romantic Sooneck Castle, followed by the strategically significant Gutenfels Castle. We pass the legendary Loreley Rock, famous for its folklore of a siren luring sailors to their doom.
Next, we visit the formidable Rheinfels Castle and the fairy-tale-like Katz Castle, each with their own rich histories. We then see the twin "Hostile Brothers" castles, Sterrenberg and Liebenstein, which symbolize family feuds. Our journey continues to Stahleck Castle, now a youth hostel, offering magnificent views.
The highlight of the trip is Marksburg Castle, the only undestroyed medieval castle on the Rhine. This well-preserved fortress offers a deep dive into medieval life with its museum and historic rooms. The panoramic views from Marksburg's battlements cap off our voyage, making this Rhine River cruise a remarkable blend of history, legend, and breathtaking landscapes.
