Trechtingshausen

Downriver from Bingen, there are three Medieval castles near the town of Trechingshausen: Burg Rheinstein, Burg Reichenstein, and Burg Sooneck. Built up on the stony cliffs overlooking the Rhine, these fortresses quickly transport you back across the centuries as they have displays of art, weapons, and furnishings.

By train

Trains run regularly to Trechtingshausen. The line is Koblenz – Boppard – Bacharach – Bingen am Rhein – Mainz.

By car

The B9 goes through the village.

By boat
