Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 81 reviews
The most powerful landmark of St. Goar is Rheinfels Castle. It is the largest and one of the most magnificent castle ruins on the Rhine - equally important for the castle architecture of the Counts of Katzenelnbogen in the 14th century as well as for the castle and fortress construction of the 16th to 18th century Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel. Immerse yourself in the Middle Ages, explore fortifications, towering towers and halls and passageways cut into the rock.

We hiked up the hill from St. Goar to visit the castle. We only did the self-guided tour which shows you about 1/3 of the grounds. The hand out provided nice information about the ruins. The views from the top tower were impressive.

We loved visiting this castle. It's in ruins, but you can climb all over and explore in a way that you couldn't in most castles. Wear good shoes to take advantage. Also, the view is spectacular. There is a shuttle from the town, but it was very difficult to find.
