Today, you'll pass by one of the most famous peaks of the Rheinsteig, namely the Loreley. The 132-meter-high rock serves as a lookout point over the narrowest point of the Rhine. Since the singer Clemens von Brentano paid tribute to Loreley, this place has become a huge attraction.
The stage between St. Goarshausen and Kaub is one of the longest and most demanding on the Rheinsteig. The reward is that you'll enjoy one of the most diverse landscapes on the Rheinsteig. Because the Rhine has many twists and turns here, the scenery constantly changes. This stage also involves a lot of ups and downs.
Today, you'll be crossing the state border between Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse. Kaub, a place where rafting is quite popular, is primarily known for its Pfalzgrafenstein Fortress. You might almost think a stone ship has dropped anchor here. Apart from the Marksburg, the Zollburg is the only fortress along the Middle Rhine that has never been destroyed. General "Vorwärts" Blücher used the small island in the pursuit of Napoleon's troops on New Year's Eve 1813/1814 for his legendary crossing of the Rhine.
We will arrange your accommodation on the Rheinsteig in hotels, inns, and guesthouses. Accommodation will be private in single, double or twin rooms and with en-suite bathroom where possible.
