Rhenish-Hesse & Rhine Gorge
Germany's famous Rhine Gorge runs through two of the country's Federal States, Rhineland-Palatinate and Northrine-Westfalia. This region's most distinctive feature is the large number of castles and palaces, located in the wooded hills along the river Rhine. Between the cities of Bingen and Bonn you experience environment and history hands-on. Naturally, with woods and castles come tales and myths. This is particularly true in the Rhine Gorge area. The Lorelei rock and a number of sites from the Song of the Nibelungs wait for you to discover them.
The ASTUR Center Bad Neuenahr is located at the northern part of the Rhine Gorge. From here you can easily reach the romantic castles along the river Rhine. Just as quickly, you can make a trip to the urban hubs in Cologne, Bonn or Düsseldorf. The following activities are available in Center vicinity:
