👑 Rheingrafenstein Castle Ruins – The Rock Boss on the Cycle Path Tip: Stop here! The Rheingrafenstein ruins sit dramatically perched on a 136-meter-high porphyry cliff above the Nahe River – one of the most impressive sights of the entire tour. The castle was the ancestral seat of the famous Wildgraves and Rhinegraves (until it was blown up in 1689). The view from the cycle path is phenomenal! If you really want to go up (and have enough energy), you can take the small hand-pulled ferry across and take the steep hiking trail to the ruins. It's worth it for the view over the Nahe Valley, but honestly: My legs were already tired enough from cycling. The panoramic view from below is worth its weight in gold! A must-have for your photo collection!
