We decided not to go on the excursion to Marksburg Castle as the temperature was 29--feels like 19!!!! We stopped at Koblenz to let the hardy souls off that were going to the castle. We thought that the view from the boat would be wonderful and it was!!!!
Marksburg Castle from the boat. This is the only Rhine castle never destroyed.
We then continued to cruise down the Rhine past hilltop castles. This stunning stretch of the Rhine is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Walk thru the bar to get to the church...
The Cat Castle.....
The Mouse castle...built by the same family as the Cat Castle but smaller
Small castle in the middle of the Rhine
Castle now a 5* hotel
We passed the Lorelei Rock, which marks the river’s narrowest point; the rock is named for a local legend about Rhine Maidens who lure sailors to their doom.
Much better viewing spot for our cruise down the Rhine.
