The castle is a prime example of Rhine Romanticism – that era when poets, painters, and nobles discovered the Rhine as a place of longing.

May 26, 2025,Bingen – St. Goar (Loreley)

After the ferry ride from Bingen back to Rüdesheim, we pay a morning visit to the Germania monument on the Niederwald Monument. First, we head through the Drosselgasse, still in the morning peace, towards the cable car. Floating over the vineyards, we bridge the elevation gain effortlessly. A magnificent view awaits us at the top. It's also a wonderful place …

Enjoyed the Rhine on both sides by bike. Yes, it has been possible since last summer, and the cycle path on the right bank of the Rhine from Kaub to Rüdesheim is perfect, before that it was so-so. You can cycle. The right bank of the Rhine is ideal for sun worshippers, with only minimal shade. And always right along …

June 22, 2025,Heute machten wir die etwas längere Burgen Tour, von Geisenheim nach St. Goarshausen rüber mit der Fähre und auf der anderen Rheinseite wieder zurück.

Today we took the slightly longer castle tour, from Geisenheim to St. Goarshausen by ferry and back again on the other side of the Rhine. We looked at the various castles and palaces. It was only from a distance, but it was still impressive how many there are along this route. And of course, the "Loreley" was a must. The …

First cycled the new bike path - opened about a week ago - from Lorch to Rüdesheim. Super, nice and smooth, right on the Rhine with a view of the river and the opposite side. The piece from St.Goarshausen to Kaub is so-so, from Kaub very nice to drive on.
I did the bike tour with a guest of our …

In the most beautiful sunshine, once again drive on both sides of the Rhine. The cycle path on the right bank of the Rhine was opened about 5 weeks ago. This is really a highlight, as you always have a full view of the Rhine (disadvantage: absolutely no shade). Unfortunately, the section around the Lorely falls under the category "dangerous …

September 3, 2023,Rundtour durchs obere Mittelrheintal ab Oberwesel 🚴‍♀️🌤️

Nice bike ride along the Rhine. About 65% on the road, but the beautiful view of the landscape, the many castles and small towns makes up for it 🤗

The left side of the Rhine is definitely nicer for driving. The way back runs exclusively along the road. But you often have a nice view. It was stupid that Komoot switched itself off shortly after the ferry crossing to St. Goarshausen and I didn't notice it at first. Hence the straight stretch through the mountain near the Loreley.
