Oh my, Loreley - There Are Castles in the Sky

Drove past Koblenz (at the confluence of the Mosel and the Rhein rivers) down to St. Goar for some castle viewing.  The pictures say it all for today...

Castle Marksburg - the only surviving Middle Ages castle on the Rhein not left in ruins or destroyed by Napoleon

Castle Liebenstein - jealous brothers owned castles next to each other with a wall between.
This one seemed to win, the other is now a hotel

Castle Katz...Castle Maus is the next castle over (no joke)

Loreley, where legend has ships sinking thanks to a singing mermaid with golden hair

Castle Rheinfels, built in 1245 - ruins remain, but an amazing place to tour
