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

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.

If you visit the waterfall, it is worth taking a short walk from the top of the waterfall to the castle ruins. It is about 2 kilometers through the forest, with an ascent at the end. It is possible to reach for everyone. You do not need a good shape to reach it. The castle itself is not restored, but there are a few remains of the wall. Dreamlike, like in a picture book - an interesting castle ruin from the 11th century with an impressive view of Bad Urach and the surrounding area - mountains, forests, fields, valleys and the city with its old buildings When be there around on a nice day and you like nature - go for it!

The upper castle was built by the by Margrave Hermann II around the year 1100. Under Margrave Bernhard I of Baden (1372-1431) was the Gothic lower castle, which was extended by Margrave James I (1431-1453). It's a little walk from the parking lot, it's a slight uphill, but literally 5 minutes and you're in the castle. When we were there, no one else was, 8:00 PM on a Thursday evening. The restaurant at the base of the castle had people in it. We loved roaming around and imagining how it must have been in medieval times. Keep wandering too, you can go all the way to the top tower with unbelievably gorgeous views. This place was free and it was unforgettable. Lots of scaffolding and reconstruction work was happening when we were there in late June of 2019.
