Sankt Goar

Sankt Goar Essentials

Located in the UNESCO-listed Upper Middle Rhine Valley, Sankt Goar and its sister town Sankt Goarshausen anchor a landscape of medieval fortifications and river history. This selection features the sprawling ruins of Rheinfels Castle and the privately owned Katz Castle. Key sites include the collegiate church with its Romanesque crypt, historic defensive towers, and the 1917 Häusener Kran. Elevated viewpoints such as Maria Ruh and Dreiburgenblick offer direct perspectives of the legendary Loreley rock and the Rhine's narrowest passage.
