Rhineland-Palatinate Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Marksburg, the fortress on the Rhine that has never been conquered

The Rhine River is over 800 kilometers long within Germany, and the most scenic part of it is the Middle Rhine Valley - from Mainz to Koblenz. The river winds its way, the water is clear, and on both sides are hillsides covered with green vineyards, with white clouds wandering between the mountains. Atop the ridges on both banks, the most conspicuous are the various medieval castles. Speaking of the nobility in medieval Europe, it was actually quite similar to Chinese villages - a small piece of land often had dozens of counts and marquises, and the area each person governed was about the size of a village. These stone castles along the Rhine were the 'palaces' and offices of these village chiefs... oh no, the noble lords, built on high ground near the river for defense and to conveniently collect tolls from passing boats. Marksburg, with a history of over 700 years, is one of them, towering on the hill of the small town of Braubach on the eastern bank of the Rhine. Over the centuries, this castle has changed hands several times, having been owned by the Lords of Eppstein, the Marquises of Katzenelnbogen, the Counts of Hesse, and the Dukes of Nassau. Later, the German Castle Association purchased it for 1000 marks and turned it into the tourist attraction it is today. To this day, you can still see the family crests of the various owners of Marksburg on the walls of the castle gatehouse. Although Marksburg is not large, it is a representative castle that fully possesses the characteristics of a medieval fortress stronghold, with the main tower, turret, residential tower, gate, and the corridors between the inner and outer walls all well-preserved. Now, it can be said to be a small museum witnessing the history of the castles along the Rhine, where you can see the armor of German knights through the ages, as well as the ancient cannons that once menacingly targeted the Rhine. As a military stronghold, this type of stone fortress was passable, but the lighting and living environment were not very good, suggesting that the lives of medieval European nobility were not too comfortable... By the way, this castle is also one of the few fortresses on the Rhine that has never been conquered. The castle's toilets were suspended outside, and using them was akin to 'bombing'... No wonder the castle walls are full of unidentifiable marks...

Max Castle is the only castle in the Rhine Valley in Germany that has not been destroyed and completely preserves the medieval style. The castle stands on the peak of the right bank of the Rhine. During the Ascension Day in May 2013, taking a cruise on the Rhine River, looking up, Max Castle is particularly spectacular. Max Castle's Max Castle May 2014 during the Advent of the Holy Week, visit the Rhine Valley and visit Max Castle. Visiting the German castle, every time a tour guide takes a team to enter the interior, which is in line with the German personality, reflecting the organization and discipline of the Germans.

D5 Germany-Marxburg (European Castle) Marxburg, the war has not destroyed the heritage, does not accept a single person, there is a special defender to open the key to enter. ~ The Europeans in ancient times were not tall, but there were many unconventional customs, such as squatting on the table, in order to show respect for the guests, and even the guests should open the door to communicate at any time. The tour guide was very funny, saying that there is a gym. As a result, we saw that it was a prison room full of big stone balls~

Marksburg is the only unspoiled medieval castle in the Rhine Valley that has a history of more than 700 years. It is the headquarters of the German Castle Association and one of the most eye-catching sights on the eastern shore of the Rhine. The most impressive thing about me is the Armory, which houses the historic development of armor from 600 BC to 1500 AD. This is very rare, except for the same exhibitions in Paris and London.

Koblenz is an important part of the world cultural heritage of the Upper Rhine region and the Middle East. It is located at the intersection of the Rhine and Moselle rivers and is known as the German Horn. The statue of Ludwig is across the river from the fortress of Ellenbrecht Stein, and the Electoral Palace is also quietly waiting for the Rhine. Several towering steeple churches illuminate the skyline of the town, several squares. A collection of locals drinking and sunning. Koblenz is such a quiet and comfortable town.

Marxburg is a very famous attraction in Koblenz, from the top of the outer suburb of Koblenz. There is not much information about Marxburg on the network. The castle is located in a blitzkrieg near Braubach, Germany, about 20 minutes drive from Koblenz. Marxburg is the only castle on the Rhine that has not been destroyed by war. In its more than 700 years of history, it is very fortunate to avoid the baptism of two world wars, its merits and the construction of its EPPSTEIN family. Inseparable. Overlooking the Rhine from Marx Castle, there is a mighty power to be the enemy of Wanfu. Marxburg has the badges of the ancient city owners, which also shows the long history and tradition of the castle. If time permits, the hiking route near Marxburg is highly recommended, allowing you to better see the beautiful scenery of the Middle Rhine, plus the air is very fresh, there are many very beautiful houses between the valleys. Especially enviable people who live here, hate not to live in such a beautiful place.

Regarding #, there is actually an origin. The Rhine River and the Moselle River merged in the 13th century with the name of the German Horn of Germany Deutsches Eck. There is a monument to the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmal. This monument has been a symbol of German unity since the reunification of Germany from 1953 to 1990. is a large square at the back of the monument. If you want to see the panoramic view of the intersection of the two rivers, it is recommended to take the monument's sightseeing platform, otherwise it will be difficult to take a full picture. Near the Deutsches Eck, there are some places where Ehrenbreitstein and Schloss Stolzenfels can't be named (in fact, because the name is too long) . . . , as well as many historical values of buildings and monuments. There are also some castles that have time to visit. If you want to catch the 9° Rhine cruise, it is not recommended. Sitting on the Rhine River in the Deutsche Bahn, opening a trip to the Rhine and enjoying the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Rhine. #

Dom St. Peter

#europetrip Dom St. Peter is the number 1 tourist attraction of Worms. Though you can find many similar cathedrals across Germany or Europe and neither is it the grandest one, I like it due to its few special features. First, it is the shape of the high towers. They are cylindrical rather than the commonly seen rectangular. The stained glasses, not the ones showing religious stories or holy figures but the plain ones, are lovely. Together with some of the stone and wood cravings displayed inside, it made my visit pleasant and tranquillizing though I am not a religious person.

Dom St. Peter

#europetrip I was so excited to explore and just be I. The same city as this church. The architecture and history here is just stunning. Every area is very detailed and since being built around 1120 it has been maintained and kept in impeccable shape. I would suggest seeing this church. And don’t forget to check out the street filled with monuments and statues of some of the most important figures of the cathedrals/cities history.
