Upper Middle Rhine Valley
The Upper Middle Rhine Valley is a UNESCO cultural landscape stretching for about 65 kilometres from the Bingen and Rüdesheim area to Koblenz. The map pin marks the Loreley section of the river corridor.
Upper Middle Rhine Valley — castles and vineyards above the river
Near the Loreley, Burg Katz rises over a bend where the river and the roads below it squeeze between steep slopes.
UNESCO traces the valley’s settlement, vineyard terraces and hilltop fortifications to the river’s long role in trade. The castle and the narrows make those connections visible in one stretch. The protected landscape extends well beyond this bend to towns and terraces on both sides of the Rhine.
