Stolzenfels Castle

A small castle with a beautiful view of the Rhine. Only a few rooms are opened and visitors are given a big house slippers to be worn over shoes when walking inside the castle. Taking photos inside the castle is not allowed. It would have been nice if any of the towers are accessible. We had our 1.5 years old on a stroller and had to park the stroller by the gate. We brought a hip-seat so we can carry our toddler to see the rooms, so that was not a problem. The hike up from the parking is quite steep, but it didn't feel particularly long. The forest was clean, scenic and we enjoyed the fresh air. The path for using the stroller up and down between the parking garage and castle is good. There is no free parking / parking ticket validated by the castle's ticket office (we were told this was an old information).

One of my favourite castles on The Rhein and a must if you are near Koblenz. The tour is amazing, the views even better. Highly recommend.

One of the most beautiful castles here in Germany! An excellent mix of defensive castle and modern residence! The view onto Koblenz is also magnificent :)

There is a parking garage (but not with many spaces), and then you walk the winding road up to the castle. We bought tickets and were asked what language we wanted the brochure in, but I said we did not need it. The woman at the kasse said, "Of course you need it, or you won't know what you're looking at!" I was never forced to take information material before, but we accepted. There weren't many places to explore on the grounds and we couldn't figure out how to the get to the other side outside. The inside we had to wear felt clogs over our shoes and they were enormous! It was a nice interior but not many rooms too see.

The open time for ticket sells is from 10:00 to 16:00 after this time you can not enter the castle

This is a very beautiful castle. Although you must walk up a very steep hill. Or call a taxi to drive you up the hill. Alot of history is preserved in the castle. I can not imagine how hard it was to build this castle back in 1839. Well worth visiting. A beautiful walk down.

Beautiful castle. Well worth the admission costs to see the inside rooms. If you parked in the garage at the foot of the hill, tell the attendant when you get the visitors pass, and you should be able to park for free.

After walking a windy road leading up the mountain, you reach this fairytale castle with a gorgeous view of the river. We explored the castle and thoroughly enjoyed it. What you see in the castle isn't ancient, but still very interesting. Parking garage is at the foot of the mountain and is easy to find and is at a reasonable price.
