"Rheinfels Castle was beset by enemies, and no other rock was fought over more fiercely. And never have there been more people who still haunt the place today: Reinfels remains my rock!" (Limerick poet Dieter Höss)

Stahleck Castle was built around 1000 as a hilltop castle and customs castle on a field spur by the Archbishopric of Cologne. In 1120/21 it was owned as a Cologne electoral fief by Gozwin von Stahlecke, Count of Höchstadt and Bildhausen. Today Stahleck Castle is a beautiful, modern youth hostel.

The city center is well worth seeing with its old half-timbered houses and the many city gates.

It's about maintaining an original feeling

There is a youth hostel at the castle, which is highly recommended
