The following day, we hiked up to Burg Stahleck, a castle-turned-hostel with a stunning courtyard view. We started our walk at St. Peter’s Church, climbing a set of stairs that led us to Wernerkapelle, a historical Gothic ruin. From there, the trail continued upward, gradually ascending into the trees. Along the way, we came across a lovely resting spot with a bench and a scenic overlook—perfect for catching our breath and taking in the view of the Rhein. We then continued the steady incline until we finally reached the castle. Hubby inquired about the hostel at the front desk and grabbed something for us drink while enjoying the view at the courtyard — definitely worth the climb.
