Pfalz - just 33 km from Koblenz by globetrott
Pfalz or Pfalzgrafenstein is the name of this wonderful castle that was built on a small island in the river Rhine, opposite of the village Kaub at the right bank and Oberwesel at the left bank. Burg Pfalz is in a distance of 33 km upstream from Koblenz. In medieval times a strong chain held up all the ship-trafic passing by this castle and high taxes had to be payed by the merchants passing by.In the village KAUB you may take a ferry that will take you there and you may visit the castle-interior.
