Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from below is worth seeing. However, it is not worth going up because the castle can only be viewed from the outside.

View of Pfalzgrafenstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

The best way to see it is by ferry.
It stops there on every crossing. You can leave the ferry, look around and get on again on the next crossing.
