Rhein River - Marksburg Castle and Stolzenfels Palace

Burg Marksburg - This castle has never been destroyed.  It survived through several attacks.  You can take tours! http://www.loreley-info.com/eng/rhein-rhine/castles/marksburg.php


 Stolzenfels Palace - Open for tours. It went through a renovation in 1840s and has become one of the most outstanding examples of German romanticism.

In review, here is a map of the castles, most of them discussed in the last few blog posts.  We traveled from bottom to top.

 A little repeats and then continues south on the Rhine/Rhein.
This has been a grand view of the castles from the river.  Train access runs between the towns as well as the water passage, car and people.
