    Hiking

    On the opposite bank you can clearly see the castle mouse on the slopes of the Rhine Valley. Originally, the fortress was originally called Burg Thurnberg, but when the enemy Count von Katzenelnbogen built an even larger castle in the immediate vicinity, they called the two castles nothing but cat and mouse.

    The castle mouse was never destroyed and is still in great condition today.

    Maus Castle can be seen across from the St. Goar marina.

    The castle was probably given the name Maus by the Counts of Katzenelnbogen, who in the meantime had built the larger Neukatzenelnbogen castle nearby - popularly known as Burg Katz - and probably also by the inhabitants of the area, which has been handed down for the first time since 1744.
    Never destroyed, it only fell into disrepair during the 18th century. It was rebuilt between 1900 and 1906. The castle complex can currently be visited as part of special tours.
