Stahleck Castle

This 12th-century castle, repeatedly attacked during the 17th century wars, lay in ruins for 237 years.
Rebuilt in 1909, it now houses a youth hostel.
As we floated along the river seeing all these fantastic sights I kept wanting to stop at each place and explore.
Maybe Viking should come up with a trip that does just that!

Very nice composition, clarity, and soft lighting. "V"
The best way to explore castles in Germany is by car. Most of the best ones are not along the Rhine.

a smart composition from the mobile shooting platform... perhaps the cruise provides a sampler of the area, and that could guide a more in depth visit another time..

Another impressive castle high up on a hilltop! Maybe you should suggest that to Viking Cruises! V.

There must be a beautiful view from the castle to the Loreley valley, and you nailed it with this composition! Indeed the youth deserves views like that. Also to explore the Rhine River Valley in this part you need time and a car or RV....! V

It is frustrating to not explore and float by. What you do snap is great.
