 Cochem Castle from town by Ewingjr98 This large -- and beautiful -- castle sits on a small hilltop above the town of Cochem and the Mosel River. It is a nice 20-minute hike from the river ... just keep going up! This ancient castle was built around 1000 AD, but it was destroyed by the French (as so many castles unfortunately were!). This was one of my first German castles ever visited and is still one of my favorite due to the quaint village and beautiful views over the river and of the local vineyards. Leave a Comment

 Burg Katz by codrutz Counts of Katzenelnbogen had built more than one castle, but this bares their name - Katzenelnbogen Castle, Katz for short, erecter on the other side of the Rhine in 1371. It was built on this place to made it possible to detect and give early warning of ships coming round the Loreley, thus defending the little town of Hausen. Strong fortified walls conected the 40 meters high keep on both sides with the living quarters, the fivesides Palas, across the protective steep hillside. The thick outer walls of the Palas as well as a slightly lower triangular bastion in front of it additionally fortified the castle, which was very likely impregnable before the arrival of firearms.

 View over Oberwesel by codrutz Oberwesel has the most complete and best preserved medieval town fortifications in the Middle Rhine area. The town itself is situated on the site of an old Celtic settlement (400 BC) and a Roman military service point. The city wall is the most complete still standing in the area, with its 18 towers.

 Schonburg Castle by codrutz About half the distance from Koblenz to Mainz, on the right side (the side that I drove), there is the little town of Oberwesel and the 12th century Schonburg Castle. The castle itself it's an good shape but it's not accesible. You can climb to it and tour the outdoor areas. There is though a restaurant inside one wing of the castle. Leave a Comment
