Burg Rheinstein Germany
Burg (Castle) Rheinstein, as its name implies, sits on a massive rock above the River Rhine in Germany. One of many imposing castles and forts along the busy waterway, it towers over the left bank about 60 kilometres south west of Frankfurt. The hotel on the grounds of Rheinstein Castle is 2 kilometres from Trechtingshausen train station and 9 kilometres from the hilltop Niederwalddenkmal monument. Kaiser Wilhelm I laid the first stone of this famous monument in 1871 marking the founding of the German Empire in that year. The imposing 10.5 metres tall figure of Germania stands atop the monument overlooking the Rhine and the town of Bingen.
