This picturesque Loreley trail leads us through the abandoned vineyards and delights with breathtaking views of the charming Braubach. Here rise the typical half-timbered houses that tell stories from bygone times in the winding alleys. Particularly impressive is the view of Marksburg, the only never destroyed hill castle on the Middle Rhine, majestically towering above the valley.

A highlight of the hike is the viewing platform Kerkertser-Platte. At this idyllic rest stop, we can enjoy a well-deserved break. The view of Braubach, the impressive Marksburg, and the sprawling Middle Rhine Valley is simply breathtaking and invites you to fully enjoy the moment. This hike combines natural experience and cultural discovery in a fascinating way – a real must for every nature lover and history enthusiast.

Author’s recommendation

A guided tour at Marksburg is worthwhile. Additionally, the Marksburg shop and gastronomy area, located in the freely accessible area of the castle, offers a suitable alternative. From there, you have a magnificent view of the Middle Rhine Valley.
