Porta Nigra

This huge stone gate has stood as a symbol of the city since the second century.

Took a short ride from Luxembourg to visit Trier, a very fascinating and interesting place steeped in history. The Roman gate is like being in Rome . Take the small tourist "train " ride around the town

Burg Rheinfels

The most powerful landmark of St. Goar is Rheinfels Castle. It is the largest and one of the most magnificent castle ruins on the Rhine - equally important for the castle architecture of the Counts of Katzenelnbogen in the 14th century as well as for the castle and fortress construction of the 16th to 18th century Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel. Immerse yourself in the Middle Ages, explore fortifications, towering towers and halls and passageways cut into the rock.

We hiked up the hill from St. Goar to visit the castle. We only did the self-guided tour which shows you about 1/3 of the grounds. The hand out provided nice information about the ruins. The views from the top tower were impressive.
