Liebenstein & Sterrenberg castles
The "hostile brothers" on the opposite bank of the Rhine. On clear days visible directly from the balcony — and easy to reach via ferry and a short hike.

Since 2002, the Upper Middle Rhine Valley has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site — and for good reason.
Along 65 kilometers between Bingen/Rüdesheim and Koblenz, castles, vineyards, cliffs and half-timbered towns line up like pearls on a string.
