Discover the treasure trove Rhineland‑Palatinate on the trails of crowned heads
Castles, fortresses, cathedrals and monasteries are all relics of the cultures that ruled over thousands of years and not just in our historical little towns. They are proud watchmen towering above the valleys carved deep into the Rhenish Massif by the Rhine, Moselle, Ahr, Lahn and Nahe rivers and their tributaries. They stand steadfastly in the mystic forests of the Eifel, Hunsrück and Palatinate, or gaze proudly over the vastness of the Eifel, Rhine-Hesse and the Westerwald.
