Maeuseturm - not far from Kaub
globetrott Says: Maeuseturm / (mouse-tower) in Bingen, about 15km upstream from Kaub, is the only other castle in the Rhine-valley, that was built on an island in the stream. Such places were really perfect to collect taxes, because the islands in the stream left over just a small...
Burg Gutenfels - the other castle in Kaub
globetrott Says: Burg Gutenfels was for a long time a well-known hotel along the river Rhine, but end of december 2006 it was sold and will be privately owned in the future. Thge hotel will definitely NOT be re-opened again, that is a pity, because it offered one of the very best views of...
Pfalzgrafenstein or Kaub castle
globetrott Says: Pfalzgrafenstein castle is the main tourist-attractrion of the village of Kaub and sometimes this castle is also called Kaub or Pfalz. It was built on a small island in the river Rhine, at a narrow place where toll could easyly be taken from ships passing by. That way the...
Medieval fortress tower on the Rhine River.
hundwalder Says: The castle tower shown in the photo was one of many fortresses guarding passage on the Rhine River during medieval times and throughout the long and fierce Palitinate War. When it was determined that there was no longer a need for a defense fortress at this location, the...
chodearm Says: Many hours were spent atop the patio. The owner/manager served us liquids of the hills, and cheeses with Swiss and German decent.(which "dissent" do I use hear, help me I'm confused) Through out these trip tips I have praised the wines so I am going to switch the subject....
chodearm Says: Waking in a castle was a perfect head to a trip into Bavaria. Set the mood in the right direction. The window remained ajar throughout the night and allowed for an alarm clock of bird songs. Today we will eat breakfast, pack it up and head for Wurzburg to start our trek down...
chodearm Says: Beneath these towers the hillside was striated with vineyards, dropping down to Kaub. The situation of the two towers formed a courtyard which was off limits, but had animal cages which I came to wonder what beasts they housed. They were lifeless now.
chodearm Says: Expansive property with many nooks and crannies defined the castles quarters. Gardens and viewing points abound helped move this hotel into the number one spot for places I have stayed. The quiet breezes swishing through these walls is unforgettable, along with hand-held...
chodearm Says: They have a serious set up here, look at that view. This is taken from the tower of the Burg. The Rhine is a perfect example of a common German scene. Outlining the river, burgs and castles crest every other hilltop adding grays and reds of stone to a overwhelming green and...
The Kings Dining Room: BREAKFAST
chodearm Says: The plates, they had style. The food, all good, and the coffee you get the same comment. I especially like that there was an egg, cradled by the egg holder. Tap, tap and the shell would shatter to expose the tasty embryo. Orange juice, not from a container of mass production...
@ the Castle: The Kings Dining Hall
chodearm Says: Breakfast, lunch and dinner were enjoyed here. For an additional 30 dollars a person we were treated, and I say treated, to an extravagent dinner. Feeling to be that of a king we took up post in one of the three window stallls, where we were served, first Oxtail soup,...
chodearm Says: Being that we were sitting atop a winery in a structure of such grandeur, wines were not hard to come by, so we laid it on thick. Filling the stomach with alcohol ridden liquids got easier and easier until maximum capacity started to take hold.
@ Burg Gutenfels: Wining with crossed-eyes
chodearm Says: Yukijohn had an idea to drink till the eyes wavered into a crossed state, than walk downhill to the town of Kaub and further our state into complete misunderstanding. We sat outside on the patio, surrounded once again by the beautitious valley, indulging on the fruits of the...
globetrott Says: Kaub has its own train-station, but in order to get to Kaub you have to carefully choose the right train, because there are trains running at both banks of the river Rhine and when you happen to choose the wrong one, you might need to walk to the next car-ferry and will...
The carferry in St.Goar is just 8 km from Kaub
globetrott Says: The carferry in St. Goar to St. Goarshausen is the closest to Kaub AND it is your only chance to get across the river Rhine after 08.00p.m.This cerferry is a lot bigger and it is operated untill 09.00 p.m. and in summer even untill 11.00p.m.The timetable for this ferry is...
globetrott Says: There is a car-ferry between Kaub and B9, that is the road along the left bank of the river Rhine. On my timetable you will first see the last time of departure from Kaub and after the slash the last departure from B9The ferry is operated all year long :in the...
globetrott Says: Freistaat Flaschenhals is a funny detail of the local history : After the 1st world-war the maps were re-drawn by the allied forces, who used circles in order to draw the different territories and in the area of Kaub and Lorcher Bodental they simply forgot to add these 2...
choose your hotel carefully !!
globetrott Says: It is one of the major problemsw, when you choose a hotel along the Rhine-valley, that the trains run at both sides of the river, through the centre of town and villages and only a few places have tunnels and you may rest peacefully all night.Do NOT expect these trains not...
chodearm Says: More details, yes, but look at this, there's some craftsmanship here. In America there is a search to Walmart-ize everything. Dumb it down of all detail, care of design has gotten the ax due to cost effectiveness. Products in America is all about being as big as possible and...
chodearm Says: Yuki wore this bright yellow dress, c0 m10 y100 k0. It contained a hint of magenta to have an over-all presentation of a slight orange. This contrasted well to the backgrounds which were either c100 m0 y0 k0, or c100 m0 y50 k0 making a perfect green. The dress even paired...
