The only never-destroyed hilltop castle on the Middle Rhine, dating from the twelfth century.

It is worth taking a guided tour. To our knowledge, also possible with a dog (at least it used to be, we had a German Shepherd with us back then).
We have been to the castle many times, it was always an experience.
