Pfalzgrafenstein Castle stands on a rock island in baroque colour in the middle of the Rhine. A small ferry takes visitors to the island and the castle. Here, as part of an interactive and family-friendly exhibition, much can be learned about life on Pfalzgrafenstein. The path leads from the Gothic ring wall with its narrow embrasures, through the sparsely furnished commander's flat, the former powder magazine and the gloomy gun bastion up to the main tower. Once at the top, the view expands over the Rhine. Immerse yourself in the Middle Ages with its events and stories about strife and power, the pursuit of profit and meagre living.
