August 24, 2026, Mäuseturm in the Rhine

The Binger Mäuseturm is one of the landmarks here in the upper Middle Rhine Valley and, although smaller and easier to overlook, it factually has the same status as the Pfalzgrafenstein in Kaub. From the Rheingau side, only a view is possible, while from the Bingen side, you can walk to the island at low water in the Rhine. Exciting: Several, partly bloody legends surround the Mäuseturm.

Located in the beautiful Middle Rhine Valley, very close to the famous Loreley rock, the Rheinfels Castle ruins today attract guests from near and far with their picturesque setting. Previously, the fortress was considered one of the safest and most impregnable castles in Germany.
